📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Brighton beat Burnley 0-2 at Turf Moor, Regular Season - 32, 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 Burnley 0.94 xG and Brighton 1.54 xG, a combined 2.49. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Burnley fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Burnley attack 0.79 / defence 1.27 against Brighton attack 0.97 / defence 0.86, drawn from 31/69 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Burnley 21% | Draw 30% | Brighton 49%, with Brighton to win its most likely call at 49%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 45%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 73% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 50% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Burnley 41%, Brighton 59%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Burnley's trading profile (69 games, 34 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 44% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 33% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Brighton's trading profile (69 games, 34 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 67% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Burnley 1.49 PPG, Brighton 1.51 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Brighton win broke the near-deadlock. Burnley (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.21 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 0.85 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Brighton (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.56 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
