📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

KuPS beat Haka 3-2 at Vare Areena, Regular Season - 18, 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 KuPS 1.95 xG and Haka 1.00 xG, a combined 2.94. The scoreboard read 3-2 for 5 actual goals. KuPS beat their projection by 1.1 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Haka outscored their 1.00 projection by 1.0. Those figures were built on strength ratings of KuPS attack 1.24 / defence 0.81 against Haka attack 0.82 / defence 0.99, drawn from 39/39 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it KuPS 59% | Draw 24% | Haka 18%, with KuPS to win its most likely call at 59%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 56%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 80% and landed. Over 3.5 was 34% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 55% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 59% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (KuPS 54%, Haka 64%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

KuPS's trading profile (44 games, 22 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here.

Haka's trading profile (44 games, 22 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

On form, KuPS arrived the stronger side — 1.98 PPG against 1.23. Form held, and they took the win. KuPS (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 2.09 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 2 against a 0.77 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Haka (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.64 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict
