📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Alexandra Stadium, Regular Season - 46, as Crewe and Cambridge United drew 0-0 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 Crewe 0.97 xG and Cambridge United 1.01 xG, a combined 1.97. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Crewe fell 1.0 short of their projected output. Cambridge United landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Crewe attack 1.01 / defence 1.04 against Cambridge United attack 0.80 / defence 0.74, drawn from 91/45 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Crewe 33% | Draw 31% | Cambridge United 36%, with Cambridge United to win its most likely call at 36%. The actual draw 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 32%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 59% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 39% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 41% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Crewe 42%, Cambridge United 40%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Crewe's trading profile (91 games, 45 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Cambridge United's trading profile (91 games, 45 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 30% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Crewe 1.41 PPG, Cambridge United 1.31 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Crewe (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.42 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.22 average — tighter than their form line. Cambridge United (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.96 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.29 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). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
