📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Stadio Giovanni Zini, Promotion Play-offs - Final, as Cremonese and Spezia drew 0-0 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 Cremonese 1.52 xG and Spezia 1.30 xG, a combined 2.82. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Cremonese fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Spezia landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Cremonese attack 1.24 / defence 1.10 against Spezia attack 1.03 / defence 0.97, drawn from 76/76 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Cremonese 41% | Draw 28% | Spezia 31%, with Cremonese to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 53%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 79% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 58% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Cremonese 56%, Spezia 44%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Cremonese's trading profile (78 games, 38 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and duly kept one.

Spezia's trading profile (78 games, 38 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 33% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Cremonese 1.68 PPG, Spezia 1.49 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Cremonese (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.63 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 0.97 average — tighter than their form line. Spezia (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.05 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.18 average — tighter than their form line.

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.
