📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Carrarese and Catanzaro finished level at 2-2 at Stadio dei Marmi, Regular Season - 33, in the Serie B. 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 Carrarese 1.40 xG and Catanzaro 1.26 xG, a combined 2.66. The scoreboard read 2-2 for 4 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 Carrarese attack 0.96 / defence 1.13 against Catanzaro attack 0.96 / defence 1.14, drawn from 32/70 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Carrarese 39% | Draw 29% | Catanzaro 32%, with Carrarese to win its most likely call at 39%. 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 50%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 76% and landed. Over 3.5 was 28% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Carrarese 44%, Catanzaro 47%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Carrarese's trading profile (32 games, 15 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 38% of the time, and conceded here.

Catanzaro's trading profile (32 games, 15 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Carrarese 1.16 PPG, Catanzaro 1.47 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Carrarese (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.13 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 2 against a 1.00 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Catanzaro (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.07 average — above their attacking norm.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
