Arouca — last 10 games: 2W 3D 5L — 0.90 PPG. Last five: L L L L L. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 1.40 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%).

The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Farense 1.11 PPG, Arouca 0.90 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
In-Play Data
Farense trading profile (last 9 games, 4 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in home games; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 75% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 44%; they fail to score in 44% of games.
Arouca trading profile (last 9 games, 4 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 75% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; of the 4 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 25%; BTTS occurs in 75% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games); they fail to score in 44% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Farense 44% versus Arouca 56%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Farense 67% | Arouca 33%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Farense 1.51 xG and Arouca 1.21 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Farense attack 1.045 / defence 1.073 | Arouca attack 0.885 / defence 0.938. League average goals — home 1.538 / away 1.277. Data: built from Farense's last 9 games and Arouca's last 43.
Result probabilities: Farense 44% | Draw 25% | Arouca 31%. Fair-value odds: Farense 2.27 | Draw 3.94 | Arouca 3.27. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 51% | BTTS Yes probability 55% | Total xG 2.72. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 51%/49% — the total xG of 2.72 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 55% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Farense as the most likely outcome at 44% — marginal model lean. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Farense offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
On the goals line, Poisson's 2.72 combined xG gives a 51% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Farense's last 5 home games and Arouca's last 10 away games) averaging 2.7 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 55% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Farense 40% (last 5 home games) | Arouca 40% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Farense beat Arouca 2-0 at Estádio de São Lúis, Regular Season - 10, in the Primeira Liga. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Farense 1.51 xG and Arouca 1.21 xG, a combined 2.72. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Arouca landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Farense attack 1.04 / defence 1.07 against Arouca attack 0.89 / defence 0.94, drawn from 9/43 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Farense 44% | Draw 25% | Arouca 31%, with Farense to win its most likely call at 44%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 51%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 75% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 55% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Farense 67%, Arouca 33%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Farense's trading profile (9 games, 4 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did not.
Arouca's trading profile (9 games, 4 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 44% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Form vs Result
On form, Farense arrived the stronger side — 1.11 PPG against 0.67. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Farense (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line. Arouca (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
