📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

VPS beat Ilves 1-0 at Lemonsoft Stadion, Regular Season - 5, 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 VPS 1.78 xG and Ilves 2.40 xG, a combined 4.17. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Ilves landed 2.4 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of VPS attack 1.08 / defence 1.15 against Ilves attack 1.28 / defence 1.04, drawn from 26/26 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it VPS 29% | Draw 19% | Ilves 52%, with Ilves to win its most likely call at 52%. The actual VPS win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 79%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 92% and missed. Over 3.5 was 60% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 76% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (VPS 59%, Ilves 48%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

VPS's trading profile (54 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not.

Ilves's trading profile (54 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 37% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — VPS 1.72 PPG, Ilves 1.61 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the VPS win broke the near-deadlock. VPS (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.31 average — tighter than their form line. Ilves (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.38 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), 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.
