📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Hertha BSC and Hannover 96 finished level at 1-1 at Olympiastadion Berlin, Regular Season - 34, 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 Hertha BSC 1.16 xG and Hannover 96 1.13 xG, a combined 2.29. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Hertha BSC attack 0.84 / defence 0.93 against Hannover 96 attack 0.92 / defence 0.93, drawn from 67/67 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Hertha BSC 35% | Draw 31% | Hannover 96 34%, with Hertha BSC to win its most likely call at 35%. The actual draw 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 40%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 68% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 62% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Hertha BSC 69%, Hannover 96 55%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 65%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Hertha BSC's trading profile (67 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 69% of their matches — today it did.

Hannover 96's trading profile (67 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 61% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Hertha BSC 1.36 PPG, Hannover 96 1.52 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Hertha BSC (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 1.88 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). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
