📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Cesena beat Cosenza 0-1 at Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla, Regular Season - 38, 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 Cosenza 1.15 xG and Cesena 0.95 xG, a combined 2.10. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Cosenza fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Cosenza attack 0.73 / defence 1.03 against Cesena attack 0.82 / defence 1.22, drawn from 74/36 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Cosenza 39% | Draw 33% | Cesena 29%, with Cosenza to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual Cesena win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 35%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 64% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 43% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 42% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Cosenza 42%, Cesena 42%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Cosenza's trading profile (36 games, 17 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 33% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Cesena's trading profile (36 games, 17 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Cosenza 0.94 PPG, Cesena 1.31 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Cesena win broke the near-deadlock. Cesena (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.53 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
