📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

HJK Helsinki beat SJK 4-2 at Bolt Arena, Regular Season - 15, in the Veikkausliiga. 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 HJK Helsinki 1.50 xG and SJK 1.19 xG, a combined 2.69. The scoreboard read 4-2 for 6 actual goals. HJK Helsinki beat their projection by 2.5 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. SJK outscored their 1.19 projection by 0.8. Those figures were built on strength ratings of HJK Helsinki attack 1.12 / defence 0.82 against SJK attack 0.91 / defence 0.85, drawn from 29/30 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it HJK Helsinki 44% | Draw 26% | SJK 30%, with HJK Helsinki to win its most likely call at 44%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 58% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (HJK Helsinki 54%, SJK 63%), a base rate that agreed with today's over.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

HJK Helsinki's trading profile (54 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

SJK (home/away splits) shipped 4 against a 1.30 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
