📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Almere City FC beat FC Eindhoven 5-0 at Yanmar Stadion, Regular Season - 6, in the Eerste Divisie. 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 Almere City FC 0.89 xG and FC Eindhoven 1.57 xG, a combined 2.46. The scoreboard read 5-0 for 5 actual goals. Almere City FC beat their projection by 4.1 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. FC Eindhoven landed 1.6 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Almere City FC attack 0.77 / defence 1.39 against FC Eindhoven attack 0.90 / defence 0.68, drawn from 4/43 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Almere City FC 21% | Draw 25% | FC Eindhoven 53%, with FC Eindhoven to win its most likely call at 53%. Instead the game produced a Almere City FC win, an outcome the model had rated at just 21% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 44%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. Over 3.5 was 23% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 47% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 53% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Almere City FC 47%, FC Eindhoven 58%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 42%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Almere City FC's trading profile (38 games, 18 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did not.

FC Eindhoven's trading profile (38 games, 18 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 37% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, FC Eindhoven arrived the stronger side — 1.42 PPG against 0.66. Form was overturned, with Almere City FC winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Almere City FC (home/away splits) scored 5 against a 0.83 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 2.22 average — tighter than their form line. FC Eindhoven (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.78 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 5 against a 1.39 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

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