📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Hertha BSC beat Hannover 96 0-3 at Heinz-von-Heiden-Arena, Regular Season - 5, 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 Hannover 96 1.35 xG and Hertha BSC 0.94 xG, a combined 2.29. The scoreboard read 0-3 for 3 actual goals. Hannover 96 fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Hertha BSC outscored their 0.94 projection by 2.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Hannover 96 attack 1.04 / defence 0.87 against Hertha BSC attack 0.90 / defence 0.92, drawn from 38/38 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Hannover 96 46% | Draw 28% | Hertha BSC 26%, with Hannover 96 to win its most likely call at 46%. The actual Hertha BSC win had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 40%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 67% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Hannover 96 45%, Hertha BSC 53%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Hannover 96's trading profile (38 games, 19 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and conceded here.

Hertha BSC's trading profile (38 games, 19 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

On form, Hannover 96 arrived the stronger side — 1.66 PPG against 1.21. Form was overturned, with Hertha BSC winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Hannover 96 (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.42 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 0.84 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Hertha BSC (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.58 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.53 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
