📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

SV Darmstadt 98 beat 1. FC Nürnberg 0-1 at Max-Morlock-Stadion, Regular Season - 2, 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 Nürnberg 1.73 xG and SV Darmstadt 98 1.38 xG, a combined 3.11. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. 1. FC Nürnberg fell 1.7 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of 1. FC Nürnberg attack 0.98 / defence 1.12 against SV Darmstadt 98 attack 0.98 / defence 1.03, drawn from 35/35 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it 1. FC Nürnberg 46% | Draw 23% | SV Darmstadt 98 31%, with 1. FC Nürnberg to win its most likely call at 46%. The actual SV Darmstadt 98 win had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 60%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 82% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 62% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 67% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (1. FC Nürnberg 69%, SV Darmstadt 98 66%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 66%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

SV Darmstadt 98's trading profile (35 games, 17 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 69% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

FC Nürnberg (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.76 scoring average — below par going forward.
