📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Estadio Do MorumBIS, Regular Season - 7, as Sao Paulo and Fortaleza EC drew 0-0 in the Serie A. 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 Sao Paulo 1.23 xG and Fortaleza EC 0.84 xG, a combined 2.06. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Sao Paulo fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Fortaleza EC landed 0.8 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Sao Paulo attack 0.90 / defence 1.03 against Fortaleza EC attack 0.92 / defence 0.96, drawn from 44/44 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Sao Paulo 43% | Draw 35% | Fortaleza EC 23%, with Sao Paulo to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 34%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 64% 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 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Sao Paulo 51%, Fortaleza EC 46%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Sao Paulo's trading profile (76 games, 38 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Fortaleza EC's trading profile (76 games, 38 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Sao Paulo 1.47 PPG, Fortaleza EC 1.61 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Sao Paulo (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.58 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 0.82 average — tighter than their form line. Fortaleza EC (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.45 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
