📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Volos NFC beat PAOK 2-1 at Panthessaliko Stadium, Regular Season - 26, in the Super League 1. 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 Volos NFC 0.86 xG and PAOK 1.68 xG, a combined 2.54. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals. Volos NFC beat their projection by 1.1 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Volos NFC attack 0.82 / defence 1.18 against PAOK attack 1.30 / defence 0.78, drawn from 51/51 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Volos NFC 18% | Draw 27% | PAOK 55%, with PAOK to win its most likely call at 55%. Instead the game produced a Volos NFC win, an outcome the model had rated at just 18% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 47%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 73% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Volos NFC 47%, PAOK 63%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Volos NFC's trading profile (57 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did.

PAOK's trading profile (57 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 46% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, PAOK arrived the stronger side — 2.02 PPG against 1.12. Form was overturned, with Volos NFC winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Volos NFC (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.96 average — above their attacking norm. PAOK (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.00 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.18 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

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.
