📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Fleetwood Town and Tranmere finished level at 0-0 at Highbury 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 Fleetwood Town 1.56 xG and Tranmere 0.80 xG, a combined 2.36. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Fleetwood Town fell 1.6 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Fleetwood Town attack 0.93 / defence 0.97 against Tranmere attack 0.76 / defence 1.30, drawn from 37/83 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Fleetwood Town 56% | Draw 25% | Tranmere 19%, with Fleetwood Town to win its most likely call at 56%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

Historically the two sides average 51% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Fleetwood Town 49%, Tranmere 52%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Tranmere's trading profile (83 games, 41 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result
