📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at The Cherry Red Records Stadium, Regular Season - 22, as AFC Wimbledon and Stevenage drew 0-0 in the League One. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting AFC Wimbledon 0.80 xG and Stevenage 1.16 xG, a combined 1.96. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Stevenage landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of AFC Wimbledon attack 0.77 / defence 1.00 against Stevenage attack 1.01 / defence 0.80, drawn from 20/65 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it AFC Wimbledon 25% | Draw 31% | Stevenage 44%, with Stevenage to win its most likely call at 44%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 31%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 58% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 38% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 36% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (AFC Wimbledon 38%, Stevenage 34%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 38%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

AFC Wimbledon's trading profile (65 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 37% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 32% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Stevenage's trading profile (65 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 37% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 35% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — AFC Wimbledon 1.54 PPG, Stevenage 1.42 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. AFC Wimbledon (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.31 scoring average — below par going forward. Stevenage (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.81 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.00 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). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
