Prediction vindicated as Juventus edge out Monza 1-2.

📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Juventus beat Monza 1-2 at U-Power Stadium, Regular Season - 17, 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 Monza 0.84 xG and Juventus 1.57 xG, a combined 2.42. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Monza attack 0.76 / defence 1.04 against Juventus attack 1.14 / defence 0.82, drawn from 54/54 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Monza 20% | Draw 25% | Juventus 55%, with Juventus to win its most likely call at 55%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 43%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 69% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 40% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Monza 39%, Juventus 41%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Monza's trading profile (54 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did.

Juventus's trading profile (54 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 50% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result
