📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Stadio Comunale Luigi Ferraris, Regular Season - 27, as Sampdoria and Sassuolo drew 0-0 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 Sampdoria 0.97 xG and Sassuolo 1.25 xG, a combined 2.22. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Sampdoria fell 1.0 short of their projected output. Sassuolo landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Sampdoria attack 0.78 / defence 0.90 against Sassuolo attack 1.28 / defence 1.00, drawn from 64/26 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Sampdoria 27% | Draw 33% | Sassuolo 41%, with Sassuolo to win its most likely call at 41%. 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 38%. The game delivered 0, 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 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Sampdoria 48%, Sassuolo 56%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 60%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Sampdoria's trading profile (64 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 61% of their matches — today it did not.

Sassuolo's trading profile (64 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Sampdoria 1.28 PPG, Sassuolo 1.42 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Sampdoria (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.09 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.12 average — tighter than their form line. Sassuolo (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.38 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.69 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.
