📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Sassuolo beat Hellas Verona 0-1 at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi, Regular Season - 6, 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 Hellas Verona 1.29 xG and Sassuolo 1.01 xG, a combined 2.30. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Hellas Verona fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Hellas Verona attack 0.80 / defence 0.93 against Sassuolo attack 0.95 / defence 1.34, drawn from 43/5 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Hellas Verona 42% | Draw 30% | Sassuolo 28%, with Hellas Verona to win its most likely call at 42%. The actual Sassuolo win had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 40%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 68% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 47% 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 (Hellas Verona 44%, Sassuolo 51%), 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

Hellas Verona's trading profile (43 games, 21 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 46% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Sassuolo's trading profile (43 games, 21 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 37% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Sassuolo arrived the stronger side — 2.05 PPG against 0.93. That form edge translated into the three points. Sassuolo (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 1.81 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.24 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
