📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Coventry beat West Brom 0-2 at The Hawthorns, Regular Season - 33, 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 West Brom 1.43 xG and Coventry 1.77 xG, a combined 3.21. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. West Brom fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of West Brom attack 0.94 / defence 1.25 against Coventry attack 1.22 / defence 1.17, drawn from 78/78 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it West Brom 30% | Draw 25% | Coventry 45%, with Coventry to win its most likely call at 45%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 62%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 84% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 64% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (West Brom 42%, Coventry 56%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

West Brom's trading profile (78 games, 38 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Coventry's trading profile (78 games, 38 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — West Brom 1.26 PPG, Coventry 1.65 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Coventry win broke the near-deadlock. West Brom (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.34 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.03 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Coventry (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.50 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), 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.
