📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Barradao, Regular Season - 33, as Vitoria and Botafogo drew 0-0 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 Vitoria 0.78 xG and Botafogo 0.92 xG, a combined 1.70. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Botafogo landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Vitoria attack 0.80 / defence 0.93 against Botafogo attack 1.02 / defence 0.70, drawn from 70/70 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Vitoria 29% | Draw 34% | Botafogo 37%, with Botafogo to win its most likely call at 37%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 34%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 24%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 51% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 32% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Vitoria 46%, Botafogo 40%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Vitoria's trading profile (70 games, 35 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Botafogo's trading profile (70 games, 35 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 46% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Botafogo arrived the stronger side — 1.86 PPG against 1.16. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Vitoria (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.17 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.09 average — tighter than their form line. Botafogo (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.23 scoring average — below par going forward.

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.
