📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Spezia beat Sudtirol 6-1 at Stadio Alberto Picco, Regular Season - 35, 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 0.98 xG and Sudtirol 1.35 xG, a combined 2.33. The scoreboard read 6-1 for 7 actual goals. Spezia beat their projection by 5.0 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Spezia attack 0.77 / defence 1.19 against Sudtirol attack 1.03 / defence 0.92, drawn from 72/72 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Spezia 25% | Draw 32% | Sudtirol 43%, with Sudtirol to win its most likely call at 43%. Instead the game produced a Spezia win, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 7, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. Over 3.5 was 21% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Spezia 40%, Sudtirol 49%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Spezia's trading profile (72 games, 36 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here.

Sudtirol's trading profile (72 games, 36 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Spezia 1.32 PPG, Sudtirol 1.19 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Spezia win broke the near-deadlock. Spezia (home/away splits) scored 6 against a 1.42 average — above their attacking norm. Sudtirol (home/away splits) shipped 6 against a 1.39 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

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