📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Huddersfield beat Shrewsbury 0-1 at The Croud Meadow, Regular Season - 26, 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 Shrewsbury 1.33 xG and Huddersfield 1.93 xG, a combined 3.26. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Shrewsbury fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Huddersfield landed 0.9 under their projected return.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 63%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 84% and missed. Over 3.5 was 41% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 63% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Shrewsbury 43%, Huddersfield 46%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Huddersfield's trading profile (76 games, 37 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Shrewsbury 0.95 PPG, Huddersfield 1.28 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Huddersfield win broke the near-deadlock. Shrewsbury (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.97 scoring average — below par going forward. Huddersfield (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.49 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict
