📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Palermo beat Bari 2-0 at Stadio Renzo Barbera, Regular Season - 4, 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 Palermo 1.63 xG and Bari 0.81 xG, a combined 2.44. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Bari landed 0.8 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Palermo attack 1.07 / defence 0.93 against Bari attack 0.83 / defence 1.28, drawn from 41/41 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Palermo 53% | Draw 31% | Bari 15%, with Palermo to win its most likely call at 53%. 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 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 74% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 41% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Palermo 46%, Bari 37%), 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

Palermo's trading profile (41 games, 21 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and duly kept one.

Bari's trading profile (41 games, 21 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 27% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Palermo 1.44 PPG, Bari 1.20 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Palermo win broke the near-deadlock. Palermo (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.95 average — tighter than their form line. Bari (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.86 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A strong night for the model: the result sat comfortably inside what the pre-match data projected.
