📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Wrexham and Bolton finished level at 0-0 at STōK Cae Ras, Regular Season - 34, 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 Wrexham 1.63 xG and Bolton 1.24 xG, a combined 2.86. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Wrexham fell 1.6 short of their projected output. Bolton landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Wrexham attack 1.10 / defence 0.99 against Bolton attack 1.06 / defence 1.14, drawn from 32/78 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Wrexham 46% | Draw 25% | Bolton 29%, with Wrexham to win its most likely call at 46%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 78% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 57% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Wrexham 53%, Bolton 56%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Wrexham's trading profile (78 games, 38 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 38% of the time, and duly kept one.

Bolton's trading profile (78 games, 38 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Wrexham 1.91 PPG, Bolton 1.72 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Wrexham (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 2.29 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 0.84 average — tighter than their form line. Bolton (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.45 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.26 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.
