📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Barrow beat Bromley 2-1 at Holker Street, Regular Season - 40, in the League Two. 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 Barrow 0.54 xG and Bromley 1.42 xG, a combined 1.97. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals. Barrow beat their projection by 1.5 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Barrow attack 0.57 / defence 1.11 against Bromley attack 1.07 / defence 0.78, drawn from 84/85 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Barrow 14% | Draw 27% | Bromley 59%, with Bromley to win its most likely call at 59%. Instead the game produced a Barrow win, an outcome the model had rated at just 14% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 31%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 58% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 32% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Barrow 48%, Bromley 48%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Barrow's trading profile (84 games, 41 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did.

Bromley's trading profile (84 games, 41 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Bromley arrived the stronger side — 1.69 PPG against 1.05. Form was overturned, with Barrow winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Barrow (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.10 average — above their attacking norm.

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). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
