📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Leyton Orient beat Burton Albion 0-4 at Pirelli Stadium, Regular Season - 18, 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 Burton Albion 1.46 xG and Leyton Orient 1.30 xG, a combined 2.75. The scoreboard read 0-4 for 4 actual goals. Burton Albion fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Leyton Orient outscored their 1.30 projection by 2.7. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Burton Albion attack 0.78 / defence 1.09 against Leyton Orient attack 1.11 / defence 1.42, drawn from 62/63 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Burton Albion 41% | Draw 25% | Leyton Orient 34%, with Burton Albion to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual Leyton Orient win had been the model's second-ranked read at 34%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 52%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 76% and landed. Over 3.5 was 30% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 53% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Burton Albion 52%, Leyton Orient 55%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Burton Albion's trading profile (62 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Leyton Orient's trading profile (62 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Leyton Orient arrived the stronger side — 1.63 PPG against 1.11. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Burton Albion (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.16 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 4 against a 1.42 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Leyton Orient (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 1.61 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.52 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
