📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Newcastle beat West Ham 0-1 at London Stadium, Regular Season - 28, 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 West Ham 1.45 xG and Newcastle 1.63 xG, a combined 3.07. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. West Ham fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of West Ham attack 0.92 / defence 1.12 against Newcastle attack 0.98 / defence 1.08, drawn from 65/65 games (CurrentSeason).

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 59%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 81% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 65% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (West Ham 62%, Newcastle 68%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 62%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

West Ham's trading profile (65 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 65% of their matches — today it did not.

Newcastle's trading profile (65 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — West Ham 1.31 PPG, Newcastle 1.60 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Newcastle win broke the near-deadlock. West Ham (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.48 scoring average — below par going forward. Newcastle (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.85 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.
