📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Peterborough beat Rotherham 0-2 at Aesseal New York Stadium, Regular Season - 24, 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 Rotherham 1.38 xG and Peterborough 1.33 xG, a combined 2.71. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Rotherham fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Rotherham attack 0.97 / defence 1.24 against Peterborough attack 0.94 / defence 1.06, drawn from 69/68 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Rotherham 38% | Draw 26% | Peterborough 36%, with Rotherham to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Peterborough win had been the model's second-ranked read at 36%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 51%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 75% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 55% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Rotherham 48%, Peterborough 60%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Rotherham's trading profile (68 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Peterborough's trading profile (68 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Rotherham 1.22 PPG, Peterborough 1.18 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Peterborough win broke the near-deadlock. Rotherham (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.52 scoring average — below par going forward. Peterborough (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.82 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
