📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Cesena beat Reggiana 0-1 at MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore, Regular Season - 25, in the Serie B. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Reggiana 1.49 xG and Cesena 1.02 xG, a combined 2.51. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Reggiana fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Reggiana attack 0.89 / defence 1.00 against Cesena attack 0.93 / defence 1.39, drawn from 62/24 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Reggiana 46% | Draw 29% | Cesena 24%, with Reggiana to win its most likely call at 46%. Instead the game produced a Cesena win, an outcome the model had rated at just 24% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 46%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 73% 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 42% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Reggiana 38%, Cesena 46%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Reggiana's trading profile (24 games, 12 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 38% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Cesena's trading profile (24 games, 12 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Reggiana 1.17 PPG, Cesena 1.25 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Cesena win broke the near-deadlock. Reggiana (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.08 scoring average — below par going forward. Cesena (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.67 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). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
