📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Coventry beat West Brom 2-0 at The Coventry Building Society Arena, Regular Season - 43, in the Championship. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Coventry 1.48 xG and West Brom 0.96 xG, a combined 2.44. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. West Brom landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Coventry attack 1.20 / defence 1.03 against West Brom attack 0.94 / defence 0.98, drawn from 88/88 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Coventry 49% | Draw 26% | West Brom 25%, with Coventry to win its most likely call at 49%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 44%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Coventry 59%, West Brom 41%), 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 (88 games, 44 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not.

West Brom's trading profile (88 games, 44 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Coventry 1.44 PPG, West Brom 1.51 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Coventry win broke the near-deadlock. Coventry (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.16 average — tighter than their form line. West Brom (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.27 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). A strong night for the model: the result sat comfortably inside what the pre-match data projected.
