📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

1. FC Magdeburg beat Hertha BSC 1-0 at Avnet-Arena, Regular Season - 32, in the 2. Bundesliga. 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 1. FC Magdeburg 1.47 xG and Hertha BSC 1.97 xG, a combined 3.44. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Hertha BSC landed 2.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of 1. FC Magdeburg attack 1.01 / defence 1.16 against Hertha BSC attack 1.32 / defence 0.93, drawn from 65/65 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it 1. FC Magdeburg 28% | Draw 24% | Hertha BSC 48%, with Hertha BSC to win its most likely call at 48%. The actual 1. FC Magdeburg win had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 67%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 87% and missed. Over 3.5 was 45% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 67% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 57% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (1. FC Magdeburg 63%, Hertha BSC 51%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

1. FC Magdeburg's trading profile (65 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not.

Hertha BSC's trading profile (65 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — 1. FC Magdeburg 1.32 PPG, Hertha BSC 1.42 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the 1. FC Magdeburg win broke the near-deadlock. 1. FC Magdeburg (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.75 average — tighter than their form line. Hertha BSC (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.84 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.
