📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Flamengo beat Ceara 1-0 at Estádio do Maracanã, Regular Season - 37, 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 Flamengo 1.80 xG and Ceara 0.57 xG, a combined 2.37. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Flamengo fell 0.8 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Flamengo attack 1.38 / defence 0.80 against Ceara attack 0.71 / defence 0.87, drawn from 74/36 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Flamengo 67% | Draw 22% | Ceara 11%, with Flamengo to win its most likely call at 67%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. 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 36% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 39% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Flamengo 50%, Ceara 28%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 42%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Flamengo's trading profile (36 games, 18 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 47% of the time, and duly kept one.

Ceara's trading profile (36 games, 18 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 39% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 36% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Flamengo arrived the stronger side — 2.08 PPG against 1.19. Form held, and they took the win. Flamengo (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.50 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 4 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (hit). A strong night for the model: the result sat comfortably inside what the pre-match data projected.
