📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Juventude beat Ceara 0-1 at Estádio Governador Plácido Aderaldo Castelo, Regular Season - 22, in the Serie A. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Ceara 1.55 xG and Juventude 0.79 xG, a combined 2.34. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Ceara fell 1.6 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Ceara attack 0.71 / defence 0.93 against Juventude attack 0.76 / defence 1.64, drawn from 20/58 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Ceara 55% | Draw 26% | Juventude 19%, with Ceara to win its most likely call at 55%. Instead the game produced a Juventude win, an outcome the model had rated at just 19% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 68% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 43% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 42% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Ceara 30%, Juventude 55%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 40%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Ceara's trading profile (20 games, 9 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 35% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Juventude's trading profile (20 games, 9 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

On form, Ceara arrived the stronger side — 1.30 PPG against 0.90. Form was overturned, with Juventude winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Ceara (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.89 scoring average — below par going forward. Juventude (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 3.22 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (miss). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
