📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Nottingham Forest and Wolves finished level at 0-0 at City Ground, Regular Season - 26, in the Premier League. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Nottingham Forest 1.25 xG and Wolves 0.87 xG, a combined 2.13. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Nottingham Forest fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Wolves landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Nottingham Forest attack 0.83 / defence 1.00 against Wolves attack 0.68 / defence 1.03, drawn from 63/63 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Nottingham Forest 42% | Draw 36% | Wolves 23%, with Nottingham Forest to win its most likely call at 42%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 36%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 36%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 66% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Nottingham Forest 51%, Wolves 57%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Nottingham Forest's trading profile (63 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 30% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Wolves's trading profile (63 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 32% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Nottingham Forest arrived the stronger side — 1.44 PPG against 0.79. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Nottingham Forest (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.26 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.10 average — tighter than their form line. Wolves (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.03 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.84 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (miss). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
