📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Stadio Ettore Giardiniero - Via del Mare, Regular Season - 24, as Lecce and Bologna 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 Lecce 1.03 xG and Bologna 1.86 xG, a combined 2.89. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Lecce fell 1.0 short of their projected output. Bologna landed 1.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lecce attack 0.72 / defence 1.20 against Bologna attack 1.16 / defence 1.03, drawn from 61/60 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lecce 18% | Draw 27% | Bologna 54%, with Bologna to win its most likely call at 54%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 81% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 57% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lecce 40%, Bologna 47%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lecce's trading profile (60 games, 29 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 45% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Bologna's trading profile (60 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Bologna arrived the stronger side — 1.75 PPG against 0.97. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Lecce (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.83 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.62 average — tighter than their form line. Bologna (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.31 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.28 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
