📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Arminia Bielefeld beat 1. FC Magdeburg 0-2 at Avnet-Arena, Regular Season - 22, in the 2. Bundesliga. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting 1. FC Magdeburg 1.53 xG and Arminia Bielefeld 1.22 xG, a combined 2.75. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. 1. FC Magdeburg fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of 1. FC Magdeburg attack 0.96 / defence 1.23 against Arminia Bielefeld attack 0.74 / defence 1.07, drawn from 55/21 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it 1. FC Magdeburg 43% | Draw 28% | Arminia Bielefeld 29%, with 1. FC Magdeburg to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual Arminia Bielefeld 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 52%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 78% and landed.

FC Magdeburg 57%, Arminia Bielefeld 52%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
