📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Sassuolo beat Atalanta 0-3 at Gewiss Stadium, Regular Season - 11, in the Serie A. 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 Atalanta 1.33 xG and Sassuolo 0.88 xG, a combined 2.21. The scoreboard read 0-3 for 3 actual goals. Atalanta fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Sassuolo outscored their 0.88 projection by 2.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Atalanta attack 1.09 / defence 0.92 against Sassuolo attack 0.93 / defence 1.06, drawn from 48/10 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Atalanta 45% | Draw 31% | Sassuolo 23%, with Atalanta to win its most likely call at 45%. Instead the game produced a Sassuolo win, an outcome the model had rated at just 23% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 38%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 66% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Atalanta 48%, Sassuolo 50%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Atalanta's trading profile (48 games, 24 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here.

Sassuolo's trading profile (48 games, 24 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 38% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Atalanta 1.81 PPG, Sassuolo 1.98 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Sassuolo win broke the near-deadlock. Atalanta (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.79 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.17 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Sassuolo (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.71 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.12 average — tighter than their form line.

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.
