📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Internacional beat Ceara 1-2 at Estádio Governador Plácido Castelo, Regular Season - 34, in the Serie A. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Ceara 1.19 xG and Internacional 0.85 xG, a combined 2.04. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Internacional outscored their 0.85 projection by 1.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Ceara attack 0.76 / defence 0.95 against Internacional attack 0.87 / defence 1.10, drawn from 33/71 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Ceara 44% | Draw 30% | Internacional 26%, with Ceara to win its most likely call at 44%. The actual Internacional win had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 33%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 60% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 40% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 33% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Ceara 24%, Internacional 42%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Ceara's trading profile (33 games, 16 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 36% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here.

Internacional's trading profile (33 games, 16 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Ceara 1.27 PPG, Internacional 1.12 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Internacional win broke the near-deadlock. Ceara (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 0.75 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Internacional (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.88 average — above their attacking norm.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
