✍️ Match Preview
Full Analysis
Stadio Giovanni Zini plays host to Cremonese versus Perugia in Serie B, Regular Season - 5. Kick-off: Wednesday 22 September 2021 at 19:30 UTC.
Current Form
Cremonese's overall Serie B record this term: 3W 0D 1L from 4 games (2.25 PPG). Last five: W L W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.75 goals per game, with 0.50 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 4 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in only 25% of their games — a low BTTS rate that suggests clean sheets are a regular occurrence. Cremonese have played only a handful of Serie B games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Perugia have collected 1.25 PPG across 4 Serie B outings this season: 1W 2D 1L. Last five: W L D D. Their scoring rate of 1.00 per game is modest, conceding 1.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 4 games (50%) is an exceptional defensive record — they are keeping clean sheets more often than not. Perugia have played only a handful of Serie B games so far this season, so this record also draws on matches from last season.
Form favours the hosts. Cremonese's 2.25 PPG return is 1.00 points per game ahead of Perugia's 1.25 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.
Trading
Cremonese half-time and goal-timing data (4 games): they score before half-time in 50% of fixtures; they lead at the break 50% of the time; BTTS occurs in 25% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games; they keep a clean sheet 50% of the time.
Perugia half-time and goal-timing data (4 games): they score before half-time in 50% of fixtures; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 25% of games; they keep a clean sheet 50% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Cremonese 25% versus Perugia 50%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Cremonese 50% | Perugia 25%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Cremonese 1.19 xG and Perugia 0.77 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: Cremonese attack 1.203 / defence 0.865 | Perugia attack 0.642 / defence 0.879. League average goals — home 1.127 / away 1.379. Data: 4 Cremonese games / 4 Perugia games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Cremonese 44% | Draw 35% | Perugia 21%. Fair-value odds: Cremonese 2.27 | Draw 2.86 | Perugia 4.76. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 35% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 31% | BTTS probability 40% | Total xG 1.96. Under 2.5 is the strongly backed market at 69% probability — total xG of 1.96 sits well below the 2.5 threshold. The model is projecting a tight, low-scoring match based on both sides' defensive quality. BTTS probability of 40% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, Cremonese are the pick at 44% — marginal model lean. Current-season form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw probability of 35% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Cremonese if the outright odds are short.
On the goals line, Poisson's 1.96 combined xG gives a 31% probability to Under 2.5 — reasonable, supported by form averaging 2.1 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is No at 40%. Form rates corroborate: Cremonese 25% | Perugia 50% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Perugia beat Cremonese 0-3 at Stadio Giovanni Zini, Regular Season - 5, in the Serie B. 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 Cremonese 1.19 xG and Perugia 0.77 xG, a combined 1.96. The scoreboard read 0-3 for 3 actual goals. Cremonese fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Perugia outscored their 0.77 projection by 2.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Cremonese attack 1.20 / defence 0.86 against Perugia attack 0.64 / defence 0.88, drawn from 4/4 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Cremonese 44% | Draw 35% | Perugia 21%, with Cremonese to win its most likely call at 44%. Instead the game produced a Perugia win, an outcome the model had rated at just 21% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 31%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 61% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 40% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 38% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Cremonese 50%, Perugia 25%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 38%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Cremonese's trading profile (4 games) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 25% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 50% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 25% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Perugia's trading profile (4 games) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 50% of the time, and duly kept one.
Form vs Result
On form, Cremonese arrived the stronger side — 2.25 PPG against 1.25. Form was overturned, with Perugia winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Cremonese managed 0 against a 1.75 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 0.50 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Perugia scored 3 against a 1.00 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
