📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Oldham beat Chesterfield 0-3 at SMH Group Stadium, Regular Season - 38, 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 Chesterfield 1.46 xG and Oldham 1.12 xG, a combined 2.58. The scoreboard read 0-3 for 3 actual goals. Chesterfield fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Oldham outscored their 1.12 projection by 1.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Chesterfield attack 1.23 / defence 0.97 against Oldham attack 0.97 / defence 0.97, drawn from 83/35 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Chesterfield 45% | Draw 26% | Oldham 29%, with Chesterfield to win its most likely call at 45%. The actual Oldham win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 48%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 73% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 52% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Chesterfield 51%, Oldham 40%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Chesterfield's trading profile (35 games, 17 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 69% of their matches — today it did not.

Oldham's trading profile (35 games, 17 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Chesterfield 1.51 PPG, Oldham 1.49 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Oldham win broke the near-deadlock. Chesterfield (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.82 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.12 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Oldham (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.12 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 0.94 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), 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.
