✍️ Match Preview
Analysis & Preview
A Premier Division encounter, Regular Season - 1 sees Bohemians travel to Turner's Cross to take on Cork City. The game is scheduled for Friday 17 February 2023, 19:45 UTC.
Form Analysis
Across all Premier Division games this season, Bohemians have recorded 4W 1D 5L from 10 outings — 1.30 PPG. Last five: L L D L W. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.30 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation.
Bohemians away from home this season: 3W 1D 6L from 10 away games — 1.00 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.00 goals scored and 1.40 conceded per game.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Cork City 1.28 xG and Bohemians 1.23 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Cork City attack 0.850 / defence 1.150 | Bohemians attack 1.008 / defence 0.981. League average goals — home 1.531 / away 1.057. Data: 0 Cork City games / 36 Bohemians games used (PrevSeason). Note: current-season sample is too small — prior-season data is carrying the calculation. Model confidence is reduced; treat probabilities as directional rather than precise.
Result probabilities: Cork City 38% | Draw 27% | Bohemians 35%. Fair-value odds: Cork City 2.63 | Draw 3.70 | Bohemians 2.86. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 46% | BTTS probability 51% | Total xG 2.50. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 46%/54% — the total xG of 2.50 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 51% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Cork City at 38% — marginal model lean. With a 27% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Cork City offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 2.50 total expected goals, pointing to Under 2.5 at 46% probability — Poisson-only — limited corroboration conviction.
The outsider holds a 35% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should not be treated as one. Proportionate stakes are appropriate given the genuine contest the data projects. The Poisson model is drawing on PrevSeason data (0 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Bohemians beat Cork City 1-2 at Turner's Cross, Regular Season - 1, in the Premier Division. 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 Cork City 1.28 xG and Bohemians 1.23 xG, a combined 2.50. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Cork City attack 0.85 / defence 1.15 against Bohemians attack 1.01 / defence 0.98, drawn from 0/36 games (PrevSeason).
On the result, the model split it Cork City 38% | Draw 27% | Bohemians 35%, with Cork City to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Bohemians win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 46%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 71% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
