📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Waldstadion Kaiserlinde, Regular Season - 19, as SV Elversberg and VfL Bochum drew 1-1 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 SV Elversberg 1.42 xG and VfL Bochum 0.89 xG, a combined 2.31. 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 SV Elversberg attack 1.07 / defence 0.76 against VfL Bochum attack 0.91 / defence 0.93, drawn from 52/18 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it SV Elversberg 49% | Draw 28% | VfL Bochum 23%, with SV Elversberg to win its most likely call at 49%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 67% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (SV Elversberg 58%, VfL Bochum 50%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

SV Elversberg's trading profile (52 games, 25 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and conceded here.

VfL Bochum's trading profile (52 games, 25 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

On form, SV Elversberg arrived the stronger side — 1.75 PPG against 0.87. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. SV Elversberg (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.12 scoring average — below par going forward. VfL Bochum (home/away splits) conceded 1 against a 1.88 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 (hit), 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.
