📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Chesterfield beat Accrington ST 0-1 at Wham Stadium, Regular Season - 46, in the League Two. 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 Accrington ST 1.30 xG and Chesterfield 1.19 xG, a combined 2.49. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Accrington ST fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Accrington ST attack 0.97 / defence 1.18 against Chesterfield attack 0.89 / defence 1.02, drawn from 91/45 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Accrington ST 38% | Draw 28% | Chesterfield 33%, with Accrington ST to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Chesterfield win had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 45%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 72% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Accrington ST 53%, Chesterfield 58%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Form vs Result

Accrington ST (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.32 scoring average — below par going forward. Chesterfield (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.23 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict
