📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Peterborough beat Burton Albion 0-1 at Pirelli Stadium, Regular Season - 13, 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 Burton Albion 1.40 xG and Peterborough 1.21 xG, a combined 2.60. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Burton Albion fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Burton Albion attack 0.83 / defence 1.18 against Peterborough attack 0.91 / defence 1.24, drawn from 57/57 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Burton Albion 41% | Draw 26% | Peterborough 33%, with Burton Albion to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual Peterborough win had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 48%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 73% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 53% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 57% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Burton Albion 53%, Peterborough 61%), 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.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Burton Albion 1.04 PPG, Peterborough 1.02 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Peterborough win broke the near-deadlock. Burton Albion (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.21 scoring average — below par going forward. Peterborough (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.97 average — tighter than their form line.
