📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Mantova beat Cesena 3-0 at Stadio Danilo Martelli, Regular Season - 36, 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 Mantova 1.26 xG and Cesena 1.17 xG, a combined 2.43. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals. Mantova beat their projection by 1.7 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Cesena landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Mantova attack 0.90 / defence 1.12 against Cesena attack 0.88 / defence 1.08, drawn from 34/34 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Mantova 37% | Draw 31% | Cesena 32%, with Mantova to win its most likely call at 37%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 44%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 72% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Mantova 53%, Cesena 38%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 60%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Mantova's trading profile (34 games, 16 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not.

Cesena's trading profile (34 games, 16 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Mantova 1.09 PPG, Cesena 1.29 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Mantova win broke the near-deadlock. Mantova (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.19 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.12 average — tighter than their form line. Cesena (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.06 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.44 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), 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.
