📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lecce beat Cagliari 0-2 at Unipol Domus, Regular Season - 25, 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 Cagliari 1.33 xG and Lecce 0.68 xG, a combined 2.00. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Cagliari fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Lecce outscored their 0.68 projection by 1.3. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Cagliari attack 1.13 / defence 0.89 against Lecce attack 0.62 / defence 0.95, drawn from 62/62 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Cagliari 52% | Draw 29% | Lecce 19%, with Cagliari to win its most likely call at 52%. Instead the game produced a Lecce win, an outcome the model had rated at just 19% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 32%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 60% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 36% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Cagliari 50%, Lecce 37%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 44%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Cagliari's trading profile (62 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 37% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Lecce's trading profile (62 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 37% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Cagliari 1.03 PPG, Lecce 0.89 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Lecce win broke the near-deadlock. Cagliari (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.30 scoring average — below par going forward. Lecce (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.67 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.40 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
