Galatasaray beat Samsunspor 3-2 at Rams Park, Regular Season - 15, in the Süper Lig. 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 Galatasaray 1.55 xG and Samsunspor 1.27 xG, a combined 2.83. The scoreboard read 3-2 for 5 actual goals. Galatasaray beat their projection by 1.4 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Galatasaray attack 1.37 / defence 0.83 against Samsunspor attack 1.13 / defence 0.90, drawn from 50/50 games (CurrentSeason).
