📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Inter beat Genoa 1-0 at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Regular Season - 26, 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 Inter 1.87 xG and Genoa 1.01 xG, a combined 2.88. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Inter fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Genoa landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Inter attack 1.37 / defence 0.96 against Genoa attack 0.84 / defence 1.02, drawn from 63/63 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Inter 55% | Draw 27% | Genoa 18%, with Inter to win its most likely call at 55%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 81% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Inter 59%, Genoa 41%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Inter's trading profile (63 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 51% of the time, and duly kept one.

Genoa's trading profile (63 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Inter arrived the stronger side — 2.35 PPG against 1.25. Form held, and they took the win. Inter (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.32 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 0.81 average — tighter than their form line. Genoa (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.90 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
