📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Eco-Power Stadium, Regular Season - 42, as Doncaster and AFC Wimbledon drew 1-1 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 Doncaster 1.22 xG and AFC Wimbledon 0.95 xG, a combined 2.17. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Doncaster attack 1.20 / defence 1.01 against AFC Wimbledon attack 0.85 / defence 0.78, drawn from 86/87 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Doncaster 42% | Draw 29% | AFC Wimbledon 29%, with Doncaster to win its most likely call at 42%. The actual draw 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 37%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 64% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 43% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Doncaster 59%, AFC Wimbledon 37%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Doncaster's trading profile (87 games, 43 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did.

AFC Wimbledon's trading profile (87 games, 43 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Doncaster 1.66 PPG, AFC Wimbledon 1.53 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing.

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.
