📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Stadio Arechi, Regular Season - 18, as Salernitana and Brescia drew 0-0 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 Salernitana 1.19 xG and Brescia 1.16 xG, a combined 2.35. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Salernitana fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Brescia landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Salernitana attack 0.98 / defence 1.35 against Brescia attack 0.79 / defence 0.98, drawn from 17/55 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Salernitana 34% | Draw 33% | Brescia 33%, with Salernitana to win its most likely call at 34%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 71% 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 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Salernitana 60%, Brescia 36%), 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

Salernitana's trading profile (55 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 38% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Brescia's trading profile (55 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 33% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Brescia arrived the stronger side — 1.24 PPG against 0.62. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Salernitana (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.07 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.86 average — tighter than their form line. Brescia (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.32 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
