📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Sampdoria beat Modena 1-2 at Stadio Alberto Braglia, Regular Season - 23, 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 Modena 1.24 xG and Sampdoria 0.74 xG, a combined 1.97. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Sampdoria outscored their 0.74 projection by 1.3. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Modena attack 0.94 / defence 0.96 against Sampdoria attack 0.76 / defence 1.03, drawn from 60/60 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Modena 47% | Draw 31% | Sampdoria 21%, with Modena to win its most likely call at 47%. Instead the game produced a Sampdoria win, an outcome the model had rated at just 21% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 32%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 59% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 38% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 42% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Modena 47%, Sampdoria 37%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Sampdoria's trading profile (60 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Modena 1.32 PPG, Sampdoria 1.08 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Sampdoria win broke the near-deadlock. Modena (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 1.10 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Sampdoria (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.03 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). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
