📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Vitoria beat Ceara 1-0 at Barradao, Regular Season - 26, 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 Vitoria 1.03 xG and Ceara 1.00 xG, a combined 2.03. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Ceara landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Vitoria attack 0.86 / defence 1.04 against Ceara attack 0.93 / defence 0.87, drawn from 63/24 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Vitoria 35% | Draw 31% | Ceara 34%, with Vitoria to win its most likely call at 35%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 33%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 60% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 41% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 35% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Vitoria 42%, Ceara 29%), 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 (24 games, 12 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not.

Ceara's trading profile (24 games, 12 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 33% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Vitoria 0.92 PPG, Ceara 1.29 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Vitoria win broke the near-deadlock. Vitoria (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.08 average — tighter than their form line. Ceara (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward.
