📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Blackpool and Peterborough finished level at 0-0 at Bloomfield Road, Regular Season - 35, 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 Blackpool 1.91 xG and Peterborough 1.24 xG, a combined 3.14. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Blackpool fell 1.9 short of their projected output. Peterborough landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Blackpool attack 1.09 / defence 1.09 against Peterborough attack 0.95 / defence 1.37, drawn from 79/79 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Blackpool 53% | Draw 23% | Peterborough 24%, with Blackpool to win its most likely call at 53%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 23% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 61%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 82% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 60% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Blackpool 53%, Peterborough 67%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Blackpool's trading profile (79 games, 38 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 28% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Peterborough's trading profile (79 games, 38 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 66% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Blackpool 1.48 PPG, Peterborough 1.47 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Blackpool (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.71 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.03 average — tighter than their form line. Peterborough (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.32 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.71 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), 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.
