📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Frosinone beat Cesena 3-2 at Stadio Benito Stirpe, Regular Season - 15, in the Serie B. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Frosinone 0.83 xG and Cesena 1.10 xG, a combined 1.93. The scoreboard read 3-2 for 5 actual goals. Frosinone beat their projection by 2.2 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Cesena outscored their 1.10 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Frosinone attack 0.65 / defence 1.09 against Cesena attack 0.92 / defence 1.09, drawn from 14/14 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Frosinone 24% | Draw 37% | Cesena 39%, with Cesena to win its most likely call at 39%. Instead the game produced a Frosinone win, an outcome the model had rated at just 24% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 30%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 61% and landed. Over 3.5 was 13% and came in. 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 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Frosinone 36%, Cesena 50%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Frosinone's trading profile (14 games, 6 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did.

Cesena's trading profile (14 games, 6 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 64% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Cesena arrived the stronger side — 1.57 PPG against 0.71. Form was overturned, with Frosinone winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Frosinone (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 0.33 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 2 against a 1.00 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict
