📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Reggiana beat Cittadella 2-1 at MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricolore, Regular Season - 35, 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 Reggiana 1.03 xG and Cittadella 1.12 xG, a combined 2.15. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals. Reggiana beat their projection by 1.0 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Reggiana attack 0.84 / defence 1.15 against Cittadella attack 0.82 / defence 0.96, drawn from 71/71 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Reggiana 31% | Draw 34% | Cittadella 35%, with Cittadella to win its most likely call at 35%. The actual Reggiana win had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 36%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 65% and landed.

Historically the two sides average 40% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Reggiana 38%, Cittadella 42%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Reggiana's trading profile (71 games, 36 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did.

Cittadella's trading profile (71 games, 36 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), 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.
