📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Hull City beat Sunderland 0-1 at Stadium of Light, Regular Season - 34, 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 Sunderland 1.38 xG and Hull City 1.00 xG, a combined 2.38. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Sunderland fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Sunderland attack 1.07 / defence 0.97 against Hull City attack 1.00 / defence 0.94, drawn from 79/78 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Sunderland 45% | Draw 28% | Hull City 27%, with Sunderland to win its most likely call at 45%. The actual Hull City win had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 69% and missed. 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 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Sunderland 46%, Hull City 50%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Sunderland's trading profile (78 games, 38 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Hull City's trading profile (78 games, 38 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Sunderland 1.51 PPG, Hull City 1.28 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Hull City win broke the near-deadlock. Sunderland (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.50 scoring average — below par going forward. Hull City (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.39 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.
