📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Gillingham beat Oldham 0-1 at Boundary Park, Regular Season - 6, in the League Two. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Oldham 0.98 xG and Gillingham 1.22 xG, a combined 2.19. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Oldham fell 1.0 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Oldham attack 0.87 / defence 1.14 against Gillingham attack 0.94 / defence 0.92, drawn from 5/51 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Oldham 29% | Draw 29% | Gillingham 41%, with Gillingham to win its most likely call at 41%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 38%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 65% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 44% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 20% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Oldham 20%, Gillingham 20%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 60%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Oldham's trading profile (5 games) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 40% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Gillingham's trading profile (5 games) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result
