📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Bari beat Catanzaro 2-3 at Stadio Nicola Ceravolo, Regular Season - 38, 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 Catanzaro 2.11 xG and Bari 0.89 xG, a combined 3.00. The scoreboard read 2-3 for 5 actual goals. Bari outscored their 0.89 projection by 2.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Catanzaro attack 1.26 / defence 1.12 against Bari attack 0.75 / defence 1.21, drawn from 75/75 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Catanzaro 64% | Draw 22% | Bari 14%, with Catanzaro to win its most likely call at 64%. Instead the game produced a Bari win, an outcome the model had rated at just 14% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Catanzaro 52%, Bari 43%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Form vs Result

Catanzaro (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.14 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Bari (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 0.78 average — above their attacking norm.
