📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Shanghai Shenhua beat Qingdao Youth Island 4-0 at Shanghai Stadium, Regular Season - 12, in the Super League. 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 Shanghai Shenhua 2.24 xG and Qingdao Youth Island 1.50 xG, a combined 3.73. The scoreboard read 4-0 for 4 actual goals. Shanghai Shenhua beat their projection by 1.8 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Qingdao Youth Island landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Shanghai Shenhua attack 1.25 / defence 1.00 against Qingdao Youth Island attack 1.05 / defence 1.05, drawn from 41/40 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Shanghai Shenhua 53% | Draw 22% | Qingdao Youth Island 24%, with Shanghai Shenhua to win its most likely call at 53%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 72%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 90% and landed. Over 3.5 was 51% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 70% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 60% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Shanghai Shenhua 60%, Qingdao Youth Island 60%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Shanghai Shenhua's trading profile (30 games, 15 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 50% of the time, and duly kept one.

Qingdao Youth Island's trading profile (30 games, 15 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 63% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 27% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Shanghai Shenhua arrived the stronger side — 2.57 PPG against 1.07. That form edge translated into the three points. Shanghai Shenhua (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 2.93 average — above their attacking norm. Qingdao Youth Island (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.20 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 4 against a 2.13 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
