📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Cittadella beat Pisa 0-1 at Arena Garibaldi - Stadio Romeo Anconetani, Regular Season - 25, 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 Pisa 1.84 xG and Cittadella 0.81 xG, a combined 2.64. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Pisa fell 1.8 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Pisa attack 1.28 / defence 0.86 against Cittadella attack 0.85 / defence 1.17, drawn from 62/62 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Pisa 60% | Draw 26% | Cittadella 14%, with Pisa to win its most likely call at 60%. Instead the game produced a Cittadella win, an outcome the model had rated at just 14% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 49%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 76% and missed. 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 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Pisa 55%, Cittadella 44%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Pisa's trading profile (62 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 64% of their matches — today it did not.

Cittadella's trading profile (62 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Pisa 1.56 PPG, Cittadella 1.19 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Cittadella win broke the near-deadlock. Pisa (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.74 scoring average — below par going forward. Cittadella (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.48 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.
