📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Padova beat Pescara 0-1 at Stadio Adriatico - Giovanni Cornacchia, Regular Season - 14, 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 Pescara 1.18 xG and Padova 0.99 xG, a combined 2.17. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Pescara fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Pescara attack 0.96 / defence 1.29 against Padova attack 0.72 / defence 0.92, drawn from 13/13 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Pescara 37% | Draw 34% | Padova 28%, with Pescara to win its most likely call at 37%. The actual Padova win had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 37%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 67% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Pescara 69%, Padova 38%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 65%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Pescara's trading profile (13 games, 7 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 77% of their matches — today it did not.

Padova's trading profile (13 games, 7 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Pescara 0.69 PPG, Padova 1.08 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Padova win broke the near-deadlock. Pescara (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.57 scoring average — below par going forward. Padova (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.00 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). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
