📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Leeds beat Coventry 0-2 at The Coventry Building Society Arena, Regular Season - 31, 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 Coventry 1.32 xG and Leeds 1.24 xG, a combined 2.56. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Coventry fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Coventry attack 1.12 / defence 1.03 against Leeds attack 1.16 / defence 0.85, drawn from 76/76 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Coventry 38% | Draw 28% | Leeds 34%, with Coventry to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Leeds win 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 47%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 73% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 53% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Coventry 59%, Leeds 49%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Coventry's trading profile (76 games, 37 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not.

Leeds's trading profile (76 games, 37 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 37% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 51% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Leeds arrived the stronger side — 2.04 PPG against 1.38. That form edge translated into the three points. Coventry (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.65 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.19 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Leeds (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.03 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
