📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

VfL Wolfsburg beat Hamburger SV 0-1 at Volksparkstadion, Regular Season - 8, 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 Hamburger SV 1.77 xG and VfL Wolfsburg 1.34 xG, a combined 3.11. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Hamburger SV fell 1.8 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Hamburger SV attack 1.08 / defence 0.98 against VfL Wolfsburg attack 0.89 / defence 1.04, drawn from 7/41 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Hamburger SV 47% | Draw 24% | VfL Wolfsburg 29%, with Hamburger SV to win its most likely call at 47%. The actual VfL Wolfsburg win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 60%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 82% and missed.

Historically the two sides average 66% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Hamburger SV 73%, VfL Wolfsburg 58%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 63%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Form vs Result

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.
