📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Coventry beat QPR 1-0 at The Coventry Building Society Arena, Regular Season - 32, 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 1.31 xG and QPR 0.98 xG, a combined 2.29. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. QPR landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Coventry attack 1.06 / defence 1.07 against QPR attack 0.87 / defence 0.91, drawn from 77/77 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Coventry 44% | Draw 29% | QPR 27%, with Coventry to win its most likely call at 44%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 40%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 67% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Coventry 58%, QPR 46%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Coventry's trading profile (77 games, 38 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not.

QPR's trading profile (77 games, 38 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 32% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Coventry 1.36 PPG, QPR 1.26 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Coventry win broke the near-deadlock. Coventry (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.21 average — tighter than their form line. QPR (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.84 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). The numbers read this fixture well — the outcome largely followed the script the data laid out beforehand.
