📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Bromley beat Gillingham 2-1 at Hayes Lane, Regular Season - 18, 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 Bromley 1.10 xG and Gillingham 1.22 xG, a combined 2.31. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals. Bromley beat their projection by 0.9 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bromley attack 0.92 / defence 1.28 against Gillingham attack 0.77 / defence 0.95, drawn from 16/62 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Bromley 32% | Draw 30% | Gillingham 38%, with Gillingham to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Bromley win had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 68% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 34% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Bromley 38%, Gillingham 31%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Bromley's trading profile (16 games, 7 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 69% of their matches — today it did.

Gillingham's trading profile (16 games, 7 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 31% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 44% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Bromley 1.06 PPG, Gillingham 1.44 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Bromley win broke the near-deadlock. Bromley (home/away splits) conceded 1 against a 1.86 average — tighter than their form line. Gillingham (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 0.86 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
