📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Napoli beat Udinese 1-0 at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Regular Season - 38, 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 Napoli 1.60 xG and Udinese 1.56 xG, a combined 3.17. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Udinese landed 1.6 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Napoli attack 1.26 / defence 1.03 against Udinese attack 1.30 / defence 1.04, drawn from 75/75 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Napoli 39% | Draw 24% | Udinese 37%, with Napoli to win its most likely call at 39%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 61%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 82% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 63% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Napoli 49%, Udinese 48%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Napoli's trading profile (75 games, 37 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 44% of the time, and duly kept one.

Udinese's trading profile (75 games, 37 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Napoli arrived the stronger side — 2.07 PPG against 1.25. That form edge translated into the three points. Napoli (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.84 average — tighter than their form line. Udinese (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.24 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
