The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Al-Ittihad Kalba 1.57 xG and Al Nasr 1.38 xG, a combined 2.95. The scoreboard read 2-3 for 5 actual goals. Al Nasr outscored their 1.38 projection by 1.6. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Al-Ittihad Kalba attack 0.91 / defence 0.97 against Al Nasr attack 1.02 / defence 1.13, drawn from 50/50 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Al-Ittihad Kalba 42% | Draw 25% | Al Nasr 34%, with Al-Ittihad Kalba to win its most likely call at 42%. The actual Al Nasr win had been the model's second-ranked read at 34%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
