📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lecce beat Udinese 2-1 at Stadio Via del Mare, Regular Season - 24, 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 0.97 xG and Udinese 1.31 xG, a combined 2.29. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals. Lecce beat their projection by 1.0 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lecce attack 0.66 / defence 1.06 against Udinese attack 1.06 / defence 1.20, drawn from 61/61 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lecce 28% | Draw 28% | Udinese 44%, with Udinese to win its most likely call at 44%. The actual Lecce win 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 40%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 67% and landed. 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 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lecce 36%, Udinese 49%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lecce's trading profile (61 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 36% of their matches — today it did.

Udinese's trading profile (61 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

On form, Udinese arrived the stronger side — 1.25 PPG against 0.85. Form was overturned, with Lecce winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Lecce (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.67 average — above their attacking norm.

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.
