📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Chesterfield beat Barrow 0-1 at SO Legal Stadium, Regular Season - 39, 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 Barrow 1.43 xG and Chesterfield 1.14 xG, a combined 2.57. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Barrow fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Barrow attack 1.12 / defence 0.99 against Chesterfield attack 1.09 / defence 1.02, drawn from 84/37 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Barrow 44% | Draw 26% | Chesterfield 30%, with Barrow to win its most likely call at 44%. The actual Chesterfield win 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 47%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 73% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 52% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Barrow 40%, Chesterfield 57%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Barrow's trading profile (37 games, 17 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 35% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Chesterfield's trading profile (37 games, 17 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Barrow 1.22 PPG, Chesterfield 1.41 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Chesterfield win broke the near-deadlock. Barrow (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.59 scoring average — below par going forward. Chesterfield (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.29 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), 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.
