📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Shelbourne beat Bohemians 1-0 at Tolka Park, Regular Season - 9, in the Premier Division. 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 Shelbourne 1.30 xG and Bohemians 1.04 xG, a combined 2.34. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Bohemians landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Shelbourne attack 1.01 / defence 1.01 against Bohemians attack 0.99 / defence 1.06, drawn from 44/44 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Shelbourne 41% | Draw 30% | Bohemians 29%, with Shelbourne to win its most likely call at 41%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 69% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 36% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Shelbourne 31%, Bohemians 42%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Shelbourne's trading profile (72 games, 36 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time, and duly kept one.

Bohemians's trading profile (72 games, 36 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 28% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Shelbourne 1.71 PPG, Bohemians 1.39 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Shelbourne win broke the near-deadlock. Bohemians (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.03 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict
