📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Gangwon FC beat Ulsan Hyundai FC 1-2 at Ulsan Munsu Football Stadium, Regular Season - 9, in the K League 1. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Ulsan Hyundai FC 1.27 xG and Gangwon FC 0.77 xG, a combined 2.04. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Gangwon FC outscored their 0.77 projection by 1.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Ulsan Hyundai FC attack 1.03 / defence 0.93 against Gangwon FC attack 0.80 / defence 1.07, drawn from 42/41 games (CurrentSeason).

Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Ulsan Hyundai FC 53%, Gangwon FC 41%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
