Watford Beat Southampton 2:1 Despite Trailing on xG
The visitors led on expected goals — 1.65 to 0.83, nearly double in Southampton's favor. Bravsen's model gives a final score like this, on that xG split, roughly a 19% probability — and that rarity is what makes Watford's 2:1 win a genuine reversal, not just another weekend result.
