📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Bari beat Cesena 1-2 at Stadio Dino Manuzzi, Regular Season - 21, 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 Cesena 1.51 xG and Bari 0.74 xG, a combined 2.25. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Bari outscored their 0.74 projection by 1.3. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Cesena attack 0.99 / defence 1.02 against Bari attack 0.69 / defence 1.18, drawn from 58/58 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Cesena 55% | Draw 27% | Bari 18%, with Cesena to win its most likely call at 55%. Instead the game produced a Bari win, an outcome the model had rated at just 18% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 39%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 66% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 41% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 39% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Cesena 41%, Bari 36%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Cesena's trading profile (58 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did.

Bari's trading profile (58 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Cesena 1.45 PPG, Bari 1.12 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Bari win broke the near-deadlock. Cesena (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 1.07 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Bari (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.78 average — above their attacking norm.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
