📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Stadio Via del Mare, Regular Season - 7, as Lecce and Sassuolo drew 0-0 in the Serie A. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Lecce 1.33 xG and Sassuolo 1.35 xG, a combined 2.67. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Lecce fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Sassuolo landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lecce attack 0.93 / defence 1.26 against Sassuolo attack 0.94 / defence 1.17, drawn from 44/6 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lecce 35% | Draw 28% | Sassuolo 36%, with Sassuolo to win its most likely call at 36%. The actual draw 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 50%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 76% 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 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lecce 41%, Sassuolo 50%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lecce's trading profile (44 games, 22 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 41% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 46% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Sassuolo's trading profile (44 games, 22 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 39% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Sassuolo arrived the stronger side — 2.07 PPG against 0.89. 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) conceded 0 against a 1.68 average — tighter than their form line. Sassuolo (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.77 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.18 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). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
