📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Venezia and Napoli finished level at 0-0 at Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, Regular Season - 29, in the Serie A. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Venezia 0.80 xG and Napoli 1.55 xG, a combined 2.35. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Napoli landed 1.6 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Venezia attack 0.70 / defence 0.98 against Napoli attack 1.27 / defence 0.87, drawn from 28/66 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Venezia 17% | Draw 29% | Napoli 54%, with Napoli to win its most likely call at 54%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 70% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Venezia 58%, Napoli 53%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Venezia's trading profile (66 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 27% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Napoli's trading profile (66 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Venezia 1.38 PPG, Napoli 1.71 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Venezia (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.62 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.25 average — tighter than their form line. Napoli (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.62 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.03 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
