📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

VfL Bochum beat Eintracht Braunschweig 0-2 at Eintracht-Stadion, Regular Season - 12, 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 Eintracht Braunschweig 1.63 xG and VfL Bochum 1.53 xG, a combined 3.16. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Eintracht Braunschweig fell 1.6 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Eintracht Braunschweig attack 0.86 / defence 1.34 against VfL Bochum attack 0.85 / defence 1.29, drawn from 45/11 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Eintracht Braunschweig 40% | Draw 24% | VfL Bochum 36%, with Eintracht Braunschweig to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual VfL Bochum win had been the model's second-ranked read at 36%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 61%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 82% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 63% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Eintracht Braunschweig 56%, VfL Bochum 49%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Eintracht Braunschweig 1.09 PPG, VfL Bochum 0.73 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the VfL Bochum win broke the near-deadlock. Eintracht Braunschweig (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.32 scoring average — below par going forward. VfL Bochum (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.00 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 2.14 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict
