The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Hertha BSC 1.21 xG and 1. FC Magdeburg 0.66 xG, a combined 1.87. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Hertha BSC fell 1.2 short of their projected output. 1. FC Magdeburg outscored their 0.66 projection by 1.3.

On the result, the model split it Hertha BSC 49% | Draw 30% | 1. FC Magdeburg 20%, with Hertha BSC to win its most likely call at 49%. Instead the game produced a 1. FC Magdeburg win, an outcome the model had rated at just 20% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 29%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 56% and landed.

Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Hertha BSC 50%, 1. FC Magdeburg 62%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Hertha BSC's trading profile (48 games, 24 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 25% of games, a blank that repeated today.
