📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Reggiana beat Spezia 0-1 at Stadio Alberto Picco, Regular Season - 27, 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 Spezia 1.07 xG and Reggiana 1.00 xG, a combined 2.07. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Spezia fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Spezia attack 0.76 / defence 1.09 against Reggiana attack 0.82 / defence 1.12, drawn from 64/64 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Spezia 36% | Draw 32% | Reggiana 32%, with Spezia to win its most likely call at 36%. The actual Reggiana win had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 34%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 62% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 43% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Spezia 38%, Reggiana 48%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Spezia's trading profile (64 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 28% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Reggiana'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 — Spezia 1.41 PPG, Reggiana 1.09 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Reggiana win broke the near-deadlock. Spezia (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.44 scoring average — below par going forward. Reggiana (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.53 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). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
