📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Fulham beat Leicester 0-2 at King Power Stadium, Regular Season - 22, 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 Leicester 0.99 xG and Fulham 1.91 xG, a combined 2.90. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Leicester fell 1.0 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Leicester attack 0.69 / defence 1.22 against Fulham attack 1.03 / defence 0.98, drawn from 21/59 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Leicester 17% | Draw 26% | Fulham 57%, with Fulham to win its most likely call at 57%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 80% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 63% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Leicester 64%, Fulham 61%), 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

Leicester's trading profile (59 games, 29 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not.

Fulham's trading profile (59 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Leicester 1.53 PPG, Fulham 1.31 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Fulham win broke the near-deadlock. Leicester (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.72 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.17 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Fulham (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.72 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), 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.
