Moneyball's prediction against the result

A PSV win was the estimate's call at 83%, and it came in. The exact score was another matter: 3-1 was the likeliest, 7-0 the real one.

The match had far more goals than expected: the estimate was about 4.4 goals and there were 7.

Over 2.5 goals had been put at 81%; with 7 goals the over came in, as the estimate leaned.

Both teams to score was 60%; they did not both score, against the estimate.

Computed before kick-off from both sides' season goals and expected goals as of 2026-10-31, through a Dixon-Coles score model, and left as it was.

Why it went this way

On the day the expected goals were 0.76 for PSV and 2.40 for Willem II.

PSV scored about 6.2 more than their chances were worth: clinical finishing, or a goalkeeper having a bad day.

Willem II left about 2.4 goals' worth of chances on the pitch.

Willem II created the better chances, 2.40 xG to 0.76, and still lost. On chances alone, the result could easily have gone the other way.

The run of play itself went against the pre-match reading: Moneyball expected PSV to create more, and Willem II did.

PSV had 9 shots on target, Willem II 1.

PSV had 70% of the ball and turned it into the win.
