📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Burton Albion beat AFC Wimbledon 0-1 at The Cherry Red Records Stadium, Regular Season - 14, in the League One. 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 AFC Wimbledon 1.22 xG and Burton Albion 0.93 xG, a combined 2.14. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. AFC Wimbledon fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of AFC Wimbledon attack 1.05 / defence 0.97 against Burton Albion attack 0.88 / defence 0.88, drawn from 13/58 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it AFC Wimbledon 43% | Draw 29% | Burton Albion 28%, with AFC Wimbledon to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual Burton Albion 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 36%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 63% 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 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (AFC Wimbledon 36%, Burton Albion 52%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 43%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

AFC Wimbledon's trading profile (58 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 36% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Burton Albion's trading profile (58 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not.

AFC Wimbledon (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.36 scoring average — below par going forward. Burton Albion (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.36 average — tighter than their form line.
