The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Accrington ST 1.13 xG and Bradford 0.90 xG, a combined 2.03. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Accrington ST fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Bradford landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Accrington ST attack 1.04 / defence 0.99 against Bradford attack 0.85 / defence 0.86, drawn from 84/84 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Accrington ST 41% | Draw 30% | Bradford 29%, with Accrington ST to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 33%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 60% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 40% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 53% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Accrington ST 58%, Bradford 48%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Accrington ST's trading profile (84 games, 41 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 27% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Bradford's trading profile (84 games, 41 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Bradford arrived the stronger side — 1.64 PPG against 1.17. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Accrington ST (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.41 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.20 average — tighter than their form line. Bradford (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.20 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.24 average — tighter than their form line.
