📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Hamburger SV beat VfB Stuttgart 2-1 at Volksparkstadion, Regular Season - 12, in the Bundesliga. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Hamburger SV 1.55 xG and VfB Stuttgart 1.68 xG, a combined 3.24. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 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 Hamburger SV attack 0.86 / defence 0.96 against VfB Stuttgart attack 1.19 / defence 1.11, drawn from 11/45 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Hamburger SV 35% | Draw 24% | VfB Stuttgart 41%, with VfB Stuttgart to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual Hamburger SV win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 63%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 84% and landed. Over 3.5 was 41% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 65% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 70% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Hamburger SV 69%, VfB Stuttgart 71%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 62%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Hamburger SV's trading profile (45 games, 22 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did.

VfB Stuttgart's trading profile (45 games, 22 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 64% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Hamburger SV 1.51 PPG, VfB Stuttgart 1.60 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Hamburger SV win broke the near-deadlock.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
