📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Vitality Stadium, Regular Season - 29, as Bournemouth and Brentford drew 0-0 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 Bournemouth 1.69 xG and Brentford 1.55 xG, a combined 3.24. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Bournemouth fell 1.7 short of their projected output. Brentford landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bournemouth attack 1.01 / defence 1.01 against Brentford attack 1.18 / defence 1.15, drawn from 66/66 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Bournemouth 39% | Draw 27% | Brentford 33%, with Bournemouth to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

Form vs Result
