📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Burnley and Leeds finished level at 0-0 at Turf Moor, Regular Season - 29, in the Championship. 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 Burnley 0.84 xG and Leeds 0.86 xG, a combined 1.70. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Burnley fell 0.8 short of their projected output. Leeds landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Burnley attack 0.68 / defence 0.67 against Leeds attack 1.23 / defence 0.90, drawn from 28/74 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Burnley 32% | Draw 36% | Leeds 32%, with the draw its most likely call at 36%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 24%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 52% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 34% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Burnley 44%, Leeds 47%), 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

Burnley's trading profile (66 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 33% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Leeds's trading profile (66 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 38% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 48% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Leeds arrived the stronger side — 2.03 PPG against 1.21. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Burnley (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.06 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.47 average — tighter than their form line. Leeds (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.44 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

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