📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Stadio Renzo Barbera, Regular Season - 2, as Palermo and Frosinone drew 0-0 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 1.37 xG and Frosinone 1.05 xG, a combined 2.42. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Palermo fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Frosinone landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Palermo attack 1.16 / defence 1.00 against Frosinone attack 0.95 / defence 0.92, drawn from 39/39 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Palermo 42% | Draw 32% | Frosinone 27%, with Palermo to win its most likely call at 42%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 44%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 72% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Palermo 49%, Frosinone 41%), 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 (39 games, 19 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not.

Frosinone's trading profile (39 games, 19 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 31% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Palermo 1.41 PPG, Frosinone 1.18 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Palermo (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.42 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line. Frosinone (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.84 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.21 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), 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.
