📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Cesena beat Cremonese 1-2 at Stadio Giovanni Zini, Regular Season - 27, in the Serie B. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Cremonese 1.73 xG and Cesena 1.12 xG, a combined 2.85. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Cesena outscored their 1.12 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Cremonese attack 1.12 / defence 1.11 against Cesena attack 0.92 / defence 1.24, drawn from 64/26 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Cremonese 50% | Draw 27% | Cesena 23%, with Cremonese to win its most likely call at 50%. Instead the game produced a Cesena win, an outcome the model had rated at just 23% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Cremonese 46%, Cesena 42%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
