📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Wolves beat Manchester United 0-1 at Old Trafford, Regular Season - 33, 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 Manchester United 1.51 xG and Wolves 1.40 xG, a combined 2.91. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Manchester United fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Manchester United attack 0.90 / defence 1.02 against Wolves attack 0.97 / defence 1.14, drawn from 70/70 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Manchester United 40% | Draw 25% | Wolves 35%, with Manchester United to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual Wolves win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, 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 — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 79% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 59% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 64% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Manchester United 60%, Wolves 67%), 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

Manchester United's trading profile (70 games, 35 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 30% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Wolves's trading profile (70 games, 35 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 66% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Manchester United 1.40 PPG, Wolves 1.16 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Wolves win broke the near-deadlock. Manchester United (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.49 scoring average — below par going forward. Wolves (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.91 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), 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.
