The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Borussia Dortmund 1.86 xG and Union Berlin 1.29 xG, a combined 3.15. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 61%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 83% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 62% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 61% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Borussia Dortmund 71%, Union Berlin 51%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 60%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Borussia Dortmund's trading profile (35 games, 17 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 69% of their matches — today it did not.

Union Berlin's trading profile (35 games, 17 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 37% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Borussia Dortmund 1.66 PPG, Union Berlin 1.26 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Borussia Dortmund win broke the near-deadlock. Borussia Dortmund (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.12 average — tighter than their form line. Union Berlin (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.65 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict
