📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Mansfield Town beat Peterborough 0-3 at Weston Homes Stadium, Regular Season - 22, in the League One. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Peterborough 1.95 xG and Mansfield Town 1.31 xG, a combined 3.25. The scoreboard read 0-3 for 3 actual goals. Peterborough fell 1.9 short of their projected output. Mansfield Town outscored their 1.31 projection by 1.7. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Peterborough attack 1.49 / defence 1.41 against Mansfield Town attack 0.80 / defence 1.02, drawn from 66/19 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Peterborough 52% | Draw 22% | Mansfield Town 26%, with Peterborough to win its most likely call at 52%. The actual Mansfield Town win had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

Historically the two sides average 60% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Peterborough 69%, Mansfield Town 51%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 64%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Form vs Result

Peterborough (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 2.41 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.34 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
