📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting VfL Bochum 1.48 xG and SC Paderborn 07 1.40 xG, a combined 2.88. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. VfL Bochum fell 1.5 short of their projected output. SC Paderborn 07 landed 1.4 under their projected return.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 80% and missed.

Their combined BTTS history runs at 59%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Form vs Result

On form, SC Paderborn 07 arrived the stronger side — 1.71 PPG against 0.91. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. VfL Bochum (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.22 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.67 average — tighter than their form line. SC Paderborn 07 (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.48 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.19 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.
