📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Holstein Kiel beat Union Berlin 0-1 at Stadion An der Alten Försterei, Regular Season - 24, in the Bundesliga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Union Berlin 1.67 xG and Holstein Kiel 1.36 xG, a combined 3.04. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Union Berlin fell 1.7 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Union Berlin attack 0.73 / defence 0.92 against Holstein Kiel attack 1.07 / defence 1.41, drawn from 57/23 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Union Berlin 43% | Draw 27% | Holstein Kiel 30%, with Union Berlin to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual Holstein Kiel 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

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 59%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 82% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 62% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Union Berlin 47%, Holstein Kiel 65%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Union Berlin's trading profile (57 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 47% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Holstein Kiel's trading profile (57 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 61% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

On form, Holstein Kiel arrived the stronger side — 1.42 PPG against 1.00. That form edge translated into the three points. Union Berlin (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.18 scoring average — below par going forward. Holstein Kiel (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.54 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
