📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

RB Leipzig beat VfL Wolfsburg 0-1 at Volkswagen Arena, Regular Season - 5, 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 VfL Wolfsburg 1.89 xG and RB Leipzig 1.35 xG, a combined 3.25. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. VfL Wolfsburg fell 1.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of VfL Wolfsburg attack 1.02 / defence 1.06 against RB Leipzig attack 0.78 / defence 1.09, drawn from 38/38 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it VfL Wolfsburg 50% | Draw 23% | RB Leipzig 27%, with VfL Wolfsburg to win its most likely call at 50%. The actual RB Leipzig win had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, 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 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 84% and missed. Over 3.5 was 41% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 63% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 57% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (VfL Wolfsburg 58%, RB Leipzig 55%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 59%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

VfL Wolfsburg's trading profile (38 games, 19 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 68% of their matches — today it did not.

RB Leipzig's trading profile (38 games, 19 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result
