📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Holstein Kiel beat Hertha BSC 0-1 at Olympiastadion, Regular Season - 31, 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 1.42 xG and Holstein Kiel 1.26 xG, a combined 2.68. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Hertha BSC fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Hertha BSC attack 0.74 / defence 0.98 against Holstein Kiel attack 1.00 / defence 1.20, drawn from 64/30 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Hertha BSC 39% | Draw 30% | Holstein Kiel 31%, with Hertha BSC to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual Holstein Kiel 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 50%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 77% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 59% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Hertha BSC 52%, Holstein Kiel 66%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 62%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Hertha BSC's trading profile (64 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not.

Holstein Kiel's trading profile (64 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 69% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

On form, Hertha BSC arrived the stronger side — 1.44 PPG against 0.94. Form was overturned, with Holstein Kiel winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Hertha BSC (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.06 scoring average — below par going forward. Holstein Kiel (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 2.06 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), 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.
