📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Bradford beat Bromley 0-1 at Hayes Lane, Regular Season - 26, in the League Two. 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 Bromley 1.06 xG and Bradford 0.95 xG, a combined 2.01. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Bromley fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bromley attack 0.90 / defence 1.07 against Bradford attack 0.83 / defence 0.90, drawn from 32/78 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Bromley 37% | Draw 33% | Bradford 31%, with Bromley to win its most likely call at 37%. The actual Bradford win had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, 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 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 61% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 41% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Bromley 41%, Bradford 47%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Bromley's trading profile (32 games, 15 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and conceded here.

Bradford's trading profile (32 games, 15 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Bromley 1.41 PPG, Bradford 1.78 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Bradford win broke the near-deadlock. Bromley (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.33 scoring average — below par going forward. Bradford (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.20 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
