📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Helmond Sport beat Den Bosch 2-0 at GS Staalwerken Stadion, Regular Season - 26, 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 Helmond Sport 1.83 xG and Den Bosch 1.56 xG, a combined 3.40. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Den Bosch landed 1.6 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Helmond Sport attack 0.92 / defence 1.06 against Den Bosch attack 0.96 / defence 1.12, drawn from 63/63 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Helmond Sport 43% | Draw 26% | Den Bosch 32%, with Helmond Sport to win its most likely call at 43%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 66%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 87% and landed. Over 3.5 was 44% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 68% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 62% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Helmond Sport 65%, Den Bosch 59%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 59%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Helmond Sport's trading profile (63 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 64% of their matches — today it did not.

Den Bosch's trading profile (63 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 25% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Helmond Sport 1.14 PPG, Den Bosch 1.38 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Helmond Sport win broke the near-deadlock. Helmond Sport (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.42 average — tighter than their form line. Den Bosch (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.26 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
