📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Leyton Orient beat AFC Wimbledon 2-4 at The Cherry Red Records Stadium, Regular Season - 38, in the League One. 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 AFC Wimbledon 1.51 xG and Leyton Orient 1.11 xG, a combined 2.62. The scoreboard read 2-4 for 6 actual goals. Leyton Orient outscored their 1.11 projection by 2.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of AFC Wimbledon attack 0.92 / defence 0.94 against Leyton Orient attack 1.00 / defence 1.17, drawn from 36/82 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it AFC Wimbledon 47% | Draw 26% | Leyton Orient 28%, with AFC Wimbledon to win its most likely call at 47%. The actual Leyton Orient 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 49%. The game delivered 6, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 74% and landed. Over 3.5 was 27% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 52% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (AFC Wimbledon 39%, Leyton Orient 60%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

AFC Wimbledon's trading profile (85 games, 42 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 39% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and conceded here.

Leyton Orient's trading profile (85 games, 42 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

AFC Wimbledon (home/away splits) shipped 4 against a 0.71 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Leyton Orient (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 1.48 average — above their attacking norm.

Verdict
