📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lazio beat Bologna 0-2 at Stadio Renato Dall'Ara, Regular Season - 30, in the Serie A. 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 Bologna 0.75 xG and Lazio 0.91 xG, a combined 1.66. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Lazio outscored their 0.91 projection by 1.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bologna attack 0.74 / defence 1.10 against Lazio attack 0.69 / defence 0.79, drawn from 67/67 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Bologna 28% | Draw 34% | Lazio 37%, with Lazio to win its most likely call at 37%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 23%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 49% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 31% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Bologna 51%, Lazio 46%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Bologna's trading profile (67 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and conceded here.

Lazio's trading profile (67 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Bologna 1.55 PPG, Lazio 1.57 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Lazio win broke the near-deadlock. Bologna (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.42 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.03 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Lazio (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.09 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.03 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict
