📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Arsenal and Liverpool finished level at 0-0 at Emirates Stadium, Regular Season - 21, in the Premier League. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Arsenal 2.38 xG and Liverpool 1.11 xG, a combined 3.49. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Arsenal fell 2.4 short of their projected output. Liverpool landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Arsenal attack 1.41 / defence 0.72 against Liverpool attack 1.23 / defence 1.10, drawn from 58/58 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Arsenal 64% | Draw 22% | Liverpool 15%, with Arsenal to win its most likely call at 64%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 22% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 68%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 88% and missed. Over 3.5 was 46% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 63% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Arsenal 47%, Liverpool 64%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Arsenal's trading profile (58 games, 29 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 38% of the time, and duly kept one.

Liverpool's trading profile (58 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Arsenal 2.10 PPG, Liverpool 2.03 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Arsenal (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 2.10 scoring average — below par going forward. Liverpool (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 2.10 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.48 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
