📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at St James Park, Regular Season - 40, as Exeter City and Leyton Orient drew 0-0 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 Exeter City 1.25 xG and Leyton Orient 1.74 xG, a combined 2.98. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Exeter City fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Leyton Orient landed 1.7 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Exeter City attack 0.74 / defence 1.27 against Leyton Orient attack 1.19 / defence 1.19, drawn from 85/84 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Exeter City 28% | Draw 24% | Leyton Orient 49%, with Leyton Orient to win its most likely call at 49%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 24% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 57%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 80% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 59% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Exeter City 45%, Leyton Orient 60%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Exeter City's trading profile (85 games, 42 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 33% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Leyton Orient's trading profile (85 games, 42 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Exeter City 1.15 PPG, Leyton Orient 1.51 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Exeter City (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.26 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.36 average — tighter than their form line. Leyton Orient (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.57 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.55 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.
