📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Atalanta beat Genoa 0-1 at Stadio Luigi Ferraris, Regular Season - 16, in the Serie A. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Genoa 1.17 xG and Atalanta 1.34 xG, a combined 2.51. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Genoa fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Genoa attack 0.83 / defence 1.22 against Atalanta attack 1.00 / defence 1.13, drawn from 53/53 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Genoa 33% | Draw 27% | Atalanta 41%, with Atalanta to win its most likely call at 41%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 46%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 71% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Genoa 47%, Atalanta 51%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Genoa's trading profile (53 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Atalanta's trading profile (53 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Atalanta arrived the stronger side — 1.75 PPG against 1.08. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Genoa (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.92 scoring average — below par going forward. Atalanta (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 1.92 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 0.88 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
