📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Everton beat Wolves 4-0 at Goodison Park, Regular Season - 14, 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 Everton 1.40 xG and Wolves 1.46 xG, a combined 2.86. The scoreboard read 4-0 for 4 actual goals. Everton beat their projection by 2.6 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Wolves landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Everton attack 0.76 / defence 0.85 against Wolves attack 1.22 / defence 1.19, drawn from 51/51 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Everton 34% | Draw 29% | Wolves 37%, with Wolves to win its most likely call at 37%. The actual Everton win had been the model's second-ranked read at 34%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 54%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 80% and landed. Over 3.5 was 32% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 60% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Everton 43%, Wolves 67%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Everton's trading profile (51 games, 25 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 39% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one.

Wolves's trading profile (51 games, 25 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 71% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Everton 1.16 PPG, Wolves 1.08 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Everton win broke the near-deadlock. Everton (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 1.08 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.04 average — tighter than their form line. Wolves (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.40 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 4 against a 1.96 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

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.
