📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Mariehamn beat KuPS 1-0 at Wiklöf Holding Arena, Regular Season - 11, in the Veikkausliiga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Mariehamn 1.15 xG and KuPS 2.08 xG, a combined 3.23. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. KuPS landed 2.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Mariehamn attack 0.95 / defence 1.45 against KuPS attack 0.92 / defence 0.88, drawn from 33/34 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Mariehamn 20% | Draw 21% | KuPS 59%, with KuPS to win its most likely call at 59%. Instead the game produced a Mariehamn win, an outcome the model had rated at just 20% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 63%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 83% and missed. Over 3.5 was 40% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 60% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Mariehamn 57%, KuPS 46%), 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

Mariehamn's trading profile (54 games, 25 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not.

KuPS's trading profile (54 games, 25 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 39% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, KuPS arrived the stronger side — 2.02 PPG against 0.94. Form was overturned, with Mariehamn winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Mariehamn (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.24 average — tighter than their form line. KuPS (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.52 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
