📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Peterborough beat Wycombe 0-2 at Adams Park, Regular Season - 28, 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 Wycombe 1.83 xG and Peterborough 1.07 xG, a combined 2.90. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Wycombe fell 1.8 short of their projected output. Peterborough outscored their 1.07 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Wycombe attack 1.18 / defence 0.90 against Peterborough attack 1.10 / defence 1.14, drawn from 72/72 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Wycombe 55% | Draw 23% | Peterborough 22%, with Wycombe to win its most likely call at 55%. Instead the game produced a Peterborough win, an outcome the model had rated at just 22% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 56%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 79% 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 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Wycombe 44%, 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

Wycombe's trading profile (72 games, 35 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 25% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Peterborough's trading profile (72 games, 35 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 61% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

On form, Wycombe arrived the stronger side — 1.68 PPG against 1.19. Form was overturned, with Peterborough winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Wycombe (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.34 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 0.80 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Peterborough (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.86 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
