📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Leicester beat Bristol City 2-0 at King Power Stadium, Regular Season - 37, 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 Leicester 1.17 xG and Bristol City 1.50 xG, a combined 2.68. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Leicester beat their projection by 0.8 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Bristol City landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Leicester attack 0.93 / defence 1.35 against Bristol City attack 0.91 / defence 0.98, drawn from 36/82 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Leicester 28% | Draw 28% | Bristol City 43%, with Bristol City to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual Leicester win had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 50%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 76% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 55% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Leicester 61%, Bristol City 49%), 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

Leicester's trading profile (74 games, 36 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not.

Bristol City's trading profile (74 games, 36 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Bristol City arrived the stronger side — 1.41 PPG against 0.89. Form was overturned, with Leicester winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Leicester (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.06 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.64 average — tighter than their form line. Bristol City (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.08 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
