📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi, Regular Season - 19, as Hellas Verona and Udinese drew 0-0 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 1.25 xG and Udinese 2.01 xG, a combined 3.26. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Hellas Verona fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Udinese landed 2.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Hellas Verona attack 0.89 / defence 1.45 against Udinese attack 1.02 / defence 1.05, drawn from 56/56 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Hellas Verona 24% | Draw 22% | Udinese 55%, with Udinese to win its most likely call at 55%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 22% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 63%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 84% and missed. Over 3.5 was 41% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 62% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 51% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Hellas Verona 59%, Udinese 43%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Hellas Verona's trading profile (56 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 30% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Udinese's trading profile (56 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 27% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Hellas Verona 1.00 PPG, Udinese 1.09 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Hellas Verona (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.21 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.71 average — tighter than their form line. Udinese (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.39 average — tighter than their form line.
