📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Atletico Madrid beat Real Madrid 5-2 at Metropolitano Stadium, Regular Season - 7, in the La Liga. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Atletico Madrid 1.47 xG and Real Madrid 1.60 xG, a combined 3.06. The scoreboard read 5-2 for 7 actual goals. Atletico Madrid beat their projection by 3.5 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Atletico Madrid attack 1.28 / defence 0.94 against Real Madrid attack 1.47 / defence 0.80, drawn from 44/44 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Atletico Madrid 33% | Draw 27% | Real Madrid 39%, with Real Madrid to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual Atletico Madrid win had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets
