📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

AC Milan beat Lecce 2-3 at Stadio Ettore Giardiniero - Via del Mare, Regular Season - 28, 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 Lecce 0.88 xG and AC Milan 1.39 xG, a combined 2.26. The scoreboard read 2-3 for 5 actual goals. Lecce beat their projection by 1.1 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. AC Milan outscored their 1.39 projection by 1.6. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lecce attack 0.64 / defence 1.13 against AC Milan attack 1.02 / defence 1.06, drawn from 65/65 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lecce 21% | Draw 32% | AC Milan 47%, with AC Milan to win its most likely call at 47%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 39%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 68% and landed. Over 3.5 was 19% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lecce 38%, AC Milan 62%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lecce's trading profile (65 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did.

AC Milan's trading profile (65 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, AC Milan arrived the stronger side — 1.78 PPG against 0.97. That form edge translated into the three points. Lecce (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.81 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 3 against a 1.53 concession average — a leakier day than usual. AC Milan (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.75 average — above their attacking norm.
