📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Northampton beat Leyton Orient 0-1 at Brisbane Road, Regular Season - 6, 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 Leyton Orient 1.90 xG and Northampton 0.90 xG, a combined 2.80. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Leyton Orient fell 1.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Leyton Orient attack 1.16 / defence 0.96 against Northampton attack 0.92 / defence 1.21, drawn from 51/51 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Leyton Orient 61% | Draw 22% | Northampton 17%, with Leyton Orient to win its most likely call at 61%. Instead the game produced a Northampton win, an outcome the model had rated at just 17% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 53%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 77% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 50% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Leyton Orient 55%, Northampton 45%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Leyton Orient's trading profile (51 games, 24 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 41% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 39% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Northampton's trading profile (51 games, 24 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

On form, Leyton Orient arrived the stronger side — 1.71 PPG against 1.08. Form was overturned, with Northampton winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Leyton Orient (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.54 scoring average — below par going forward. Northampton (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.62 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
