World: International Friendly

Bawler's full prediction history and upcoming fixtures for Northern Ireland. Every pick logged before kickoff, every result settled from live data. The Poisson model has been applied to 4 Northern Ireland fixtures, with 4 now settled.

> Attack vs Defence (xG per match)
Goals scored (xG)0.97-0.27 vs league
Goals conceded (xG)1.55+0.37 vs league
◇ = World: International Friendly average. Lower xG conceded is better.

How to read this: the green bar shows the average goals Northern Ireland were expected to score per match (their xG output). The red bar shows what opponents are expected to score against them. The diamond on each bar marks the World: International Friendly average — if the bar extends past the diamond, Northern Ireland are above average there.

How to read this: the solid line is the goals Northern Ireland actually scored each match. The dashed line is the goals the model expected them to score (xG). When the solid line is above the dashed, they overperformed — they finished better than the chances they created suggested. When it's below, they underperformed. Persistent underperformance often regresses; a one-off gap usually doesn't.
