📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Vitality Stadium, Regular Season - 15, as Bournemouth and Chelsea drew 0-0 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 Bournemouth 1.34 xG and Chelsea 1.29 xG, a combined 2.63. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Bournemouth fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Chelsea landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bournemouth attack 0.96 / defence 0.85 against Chelsea attack 1.18 / defence 0.91, drawn from 52/52 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Bournemouth 38% | Draw 26% | Chelsea 36%, with Bournemouth to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 49%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 74% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 58% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Bournemouth 58%, Chelsea 58%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 59%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Bournemouth's trading profile (52 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not.

Chelsea's trading profile (52 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Bournemouth 1.44 PPG, Chelsea 1.79 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Bournemouth (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.27 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 0.81 average — tighter than their form line. Chelsea (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.69 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.27 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
