📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Wrexham beat Exeter City 0-2 at St James Park, Regular Season - 39, 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 Exeter City 1.21 xG and Wrexham 1.30 xG, a combined 2.51. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Exeter City fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Exeter City attack 1.07 / defence 1.28 against Wrexham attack 0.93 / defence 0.89, drawn from 83/38 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Exeter City 34% | Draw 28% | Wrexham 38%, with Wrexham to win its most likely call at 38%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 46%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 72% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Exeter City 45%, Wrexham 48%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Exeter City's trading profile (83 games, 41 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Wrexham's trading profile (83 games, 41 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Wrexham arrived the stronger side — 1.95 PPG against 1.28. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Exeter City (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.05 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.20 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Wrexham (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.10 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.05 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
