📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Hertha BSC beat Fortuna Düsseldorf 1-0 at Olympiastadion, Regular Season - 10, in the 2. Bundesliga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Hertha BSC 1.12 xG and Fortuna Düsseldorf 1.37 xG, a combined 2.49. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Fortuna Düsseldorf landed 1.4 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Hertha BSC attack 0.76 / defence 0.93 against Fortuna Düsseldorf attack 1.02 / defence 1.00, drawn from 43/43 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Hertha BSC 31% | Draw 27% | Fortuna Düsseldorf 43%, with Fortuna Düsseldorf to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual Hertha BSC 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 45%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 71% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 50% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 58% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Hertha BSC 56%, Fortuna Düsseldorf 60%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 60%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Hertha BSC's trading profile (43 games, 21 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not.

Fortuna Düsseldorf's trading profile (43 games, 21 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 63% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Hertha BSC 1.28 PPG, Fortuna Düsseldorf 1.47 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Hertha BSC win broke the near-deadlock. Hertha BSC (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.38 average — tighter than their form line. Fortuna Düsseldorf (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.62 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
