📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Barnsley beat Leyton Orient 1-3 at Brisbane Road, Regular Season - 35, 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 Leyton Orient 1.73 xG and Barnsley 1.33 xG, a combined 3.07. The scoreboard read 1-3 for 4 actual goals. Barnsley outscored their 1.33 projection by 1.7. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Leyton Orient attack 0.93 / defence 1.14 against Barnsley attack 1.03 / defence 1.29, drawn from 78/76 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Leyton Orient 47% | Draw 23% | Barnsley 30%, with Leyton Orient to win its most likely call at 47%. The actual Barnsley win had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 59%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 81% and landed. Over 3.5 was 37% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 64% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Leyton Orient 58%, Barnsley 70%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 60%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Leyton Orient's trading profile (76 games, 38 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and conceded here.
