📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Liverpool beat Leicester 0-1 at King Power Stadium, Regular Season - 33, 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 Leicester 0.69 xG and Liverpool 3.12 xG, a combined 3.81. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Liverpool landed 2.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Leicester attack 0.50 / defence 1.50 against Liverpool attack 1.45 / defence 0.95, drawn from 32/70 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Leicester 5% | Draw 10% | Liverpool 85%, with Liverpool to win its most likely call at 85%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 73%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 89% and missed. Over 3.5 was 53% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 64% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Leicester 63%, Liverpool 64%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Leicester's trading profile (70 games, 35 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Liverpool's trading profile (70 games, 35 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 63% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Liverpool arrived the stronger side — 2.26 PPG against 1.34. That form edge translated into the three points. Leicester (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.51 scoring average — below par going forward. Liverpool (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.20 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.23 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
