📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Heerenveen beat Feyenoord 2-0 at Abe Lenstra Stadion, Regular Season - 34, in the Eredivisie. 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 Heerenveen 1.33 xG and Feyenoord 1.76 xG, a combined 3.08. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Feyenoord landed 1.8 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Heerenveen attack 1.08 / defence 0.92 against Feyenoord attack 1.44 / defence 0.77, drawn from 67/67 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Heerenveen 28% | Draw 26% | Feyenoord 46%, with Feyenoord to win its most likely call at 46%. The actual Heerenveen win had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 60%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 83% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 62% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 64% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Heerenveen 63%, Feyenoord 66%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Heerenveen's trading profile (67 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not.

Feyenoord's trading profile (67 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Feyenoord arrived the stronger side — 2.27 PPG against 1.15. Form was overturned, with Heerenveen winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Heerenveen (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.55 average — tighter than their form line. Feyenoord (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 2.39 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.03 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (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.
