The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting RB Leipzig 1.61 xG and FC St. Pauli 1.14 xG, a combined 2.75. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. FC St. Pauli landed 1.1 under their projected return.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 52%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 77% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 55% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (RB Leipzig 65%, FC St. Pauli 48%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

RB Leipzig's trading profile (54 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 61% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and duly kept one.

FC St. Pauli's trading profile (54 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 30% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — RB Leipzig 1.81 PPG, FC St. Pauli 1.67 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the RB Leipzig win broke the near-deadlock. RB Leipzig (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.88 average — tighter than their form line. FC St. Pauli (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.38 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.19 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
