📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Bournemouth beat Tottenham 1-0 at Vitality Stadium, Regular Season - 14, 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 Bournemouth 1.40 xG and Tottenham 1.53 xG, a combined 2.93. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Tottenham landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bournemouth attack 1.01 / defence 0.88 against Tottenham attack 1.25 / defence 0.84, drawn from 51/51 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Bournemouth 33% | Draw 28% | Tottenham 39%, with Tottenham to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual Bournemouth win had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 56%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 81% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 72% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Bournemouth 67%, Tottenham 76%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 66%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Bournemouth's trading profile (51 games, 25 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 63% of their matches — today it did not.

Tottenham's trading profile (51 games, 25 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 69% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Bournemouth 1.29 PPG, Tottenham 1.69 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Bournemouth win broke the near-deadlock. Bournemouth (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.36 average — tighter than their form line. Tottenham (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.88 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
