📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at One Call Stadium, Regular Season - 42, as Mansfield Town and Burton Albion 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 Mansfield Town 1.48 xG and Burton Albion 0.98 xG, a combined 2.46. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Mansfield Town fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Burton Albion landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Mansfield Town attack 1.01 / defence 1.02 against Burton Albion attack 0.88 / defence 1.05, drawn from 84/87 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Mansfield Town 49% | Draw 26% | Burton Albion 25%, with Mansfield Town to win its most likely call at 49%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets
