How It Unfolded

Arsenal beat Fulham 3-0 at Emirates Stadium, Regular Season - 35, in the Premier League. 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 Arsenal 1.58 xG and Fulham 0.76 xG, a combined 2.34. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals. Arsenal beat their projection by 1.4 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in.

Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Arsenal 49%, Fulham 56%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 59%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Arsenal's trading profile (72 games, 36 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and duly kept one.

Fulham's trading profile (72 games, 36 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 64% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

On form, Arsenal arrived the stronger side — 2.04 PPG against 1.42. Form held, and they took the win. Arsenal (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 2.00 average — above their attacking norm. Fulham (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.19 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.42 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
