📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

1. FC Magdeburg beat VfL Bochum 4-1 at Avnet-Arena, Regular Season - 28, 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 1.19 xG and VfL Bochum 1.43 xG, a combined 2.62. The scoreboard read 4-1 for 5 actual goals. 1. FC Magdeburg beat their projection by 2.8 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of 1. FC Magdeburg attack 0.79 / defence 1.27 against VfL Bochum attack 0.83 / defence 0.95, drawn from 61/27 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it 1. FC Magdeburg 30% | Draw 29% | VfL Bochum 41%, with VfL Bochum to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual 1. FC Magdeburg win had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 49%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 75% and landed. Over 3.5 was 27% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (1. FC Magdeburg 64%, VfL Bochum 48%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

1. FC Magdeburg's trading profile (61 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did.

VfL Bochum's trading profile (61 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — 1. FC Magdeburg 1.31 PPG, VfL Bochum 0.92 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the 1. FC Magdeburg win broke the near-deadlock. 1. FC Magdeburg (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 1.47 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 1 against a 1.83 average — tighter than their form line. VfL Bochum (home/away splits) shipped 4 against a 1.77 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
