📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Borussia Mönchengladbach beat Union Berlin 1-0 at Borussia-Park, Regular Season - 24, in the 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 Borussia Mönchengladbach 1.50 xG and Union Berlin 1.39 xG, a combined 2.90. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Union Berlin landed 1.4 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Borussia Mönchengladbach attack 0.83 / defence 1.10 against Union Berlin attack 0.91 / defence 1.04, drawn from 57/57 games (CurrentSeason).

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 80% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 60% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Borussia Mönchengladbach 60%, Union Berlin 53%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Borussia Mönchengladbach's trading profile (57 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not.

Union Berlin's trading profile (57 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 33% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Borussia Mönchengladbach 1.18 PPG, Union Berlin 1.21 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Borussia Mönchengladbach win broke the near-deadlock. Borussia Mönchengladbach (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.68 average — tighter than their form line. Union Berlin (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.04 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict
