The points were shared at Estadio de Vallecas, Regular Season - 26, as Rayo Vallecano and Sevilla drew 1-1 in the La Liga. 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 Rayo Vallecano 1.32 xG and Sevilla 1.48 xG, a combined 2.79. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape.
