📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Swansea beat Oxford United 0-1 at Kassam Stadium, Regular Season - 24, in the Championship. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Oxford United 1.36 xG and Swansea 1.05 xG, a combined 2.41. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Oxford United fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Oxford United attack 0.92 / defence 1.11 against Swansea attack 0.82 / defence 1.07, drawn from 69/69 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Oxford United 43% | Draw 29% | Swansea 28%, with Oxford United to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual Swansea 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 43%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 70% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 49% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Oxford United 42%, Swansea 46%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Oxford United's trading profile (69 games, 34 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Swansea's trading profile (69 games, 34 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Oxford United 1.09 PPG, Swansea 1.26 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Swansea win broke the near-deadlock. Oxford United (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.29 scoring average — below par going forward. Swansea (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.38 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
