📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Millwall beat QPR 1-2 at Loftus Road, Regular Season - 10, 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 QPR 1.12 xG and Millwall 0.94 xG, a combined 2.06. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Millwall outscored their 0.94 projection by 1.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of QPR attack 0.99 / defence 0.86 against Millwall attack 0.93 / defence 0.93, drawn from 55/55 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it QPR 39% | Draw 32% | Millwall 29%, with QPR to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual Millwall win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 34%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 62% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 42% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (QPR 53%, Millwall 33%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

QPR's trading profile (55 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 64% of their matches — today it did.

Millwall's trading profile (55 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — QPR 1.29 PPG, Millwall 1.45 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Millwall win broke the near-deadlock. Millwall (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.93 average — above their attacking norm.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
