📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Borussia Mönchengladbach beat Union Berlin 1-2 at Stadion An der Alten Försterei, Regular Season - 22, 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 Union Berlin 1.31 xG and Borussia Mönchengladbach 1.12 xG, a combined 2.43. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Borussia Mönchengladbach outscored their 1.12 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Union Berlin attack 0.70 / defence 0.88 against Borussia Mönchengladbach attack 0.93 / defence 1.12, drawn from 55/55 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Union Berlin 40% | Draw 30% | Borussia Mönchengladbach 30%, with Union Berlin to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual Borussia Mönchengladbach win had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

Historically the two sides average 57% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Union Berlin 46%, Borussia Mönchengladbach 69%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Form vs Result

Verdict
