📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Wrexham beat Sheffield Wednesday 0-1 at Hillsborough, Regular Season - 30, 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 Sheffield Wednesday 0.72 xG and Wrexham 1.68 xG, a combined 2.40. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Sheffield Wednesday attack 0.57 / defence 1.44 against Wrexham attack 1.01 / defence 0.93, drawn from 74/29 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Sheffield Wednesday 15% | Draw 26% | Wrexham 59%, with Wrexham to win its most likely call at 59%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 43%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 70% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 43% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Sheffield Wednesday 54%, Wrexham 45%), 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

Sheffield Wednesday's trading profile (74 games, 37 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 39% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Wrexham's trading profile (74 games, 37 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Wrexham arrived the stronger side — 1.80 PPG against 0.93. Form held, and they took the win. Sheffield Wednesday (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.89 scoring average — below par going forward. Wrexham (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.92 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict
