📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Arsenal beat Everton 2-0 at Emirates Stadium, Regular Season - 30, in the Premier League. 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 Arsenal 1.49 xG and Everton 1.02 xG, a combined 2.51. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Everton landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Arsenal attack 1.37 / defence 0.78 against Everton attack 1.01 / defence 0.78, drawn from 68/67 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Arsenal 46% | Draw 29% | Everton 24%, with Arsenal to win its most likely call at 46%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 46%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 73% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Arsenal 49%, Everton 36%), 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

Arsenal's trading profile (67 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 39% of the time, and duly kept one.

Everton's trading profile (67 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Arsenal arrived the stronger side — 2.06 PPG against 1.36. That form edge translated into the three points. Arsenal (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.81 average — tighter than their form line. Everton (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 0.97 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
