📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

NAC Breda beat Heracles 0-1 at Asito Stadium, Regular Season - 23, 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 Heracles 1.59 xG and NAC Breda 1.49 xG, a combined 3.07. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Heracles fell 1.6 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Heracles attack 1.04 / defence 1.27 against NAC Breda attack 0.81 / defence 0.94, drawn from 56/56 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Heracles 40% | Draw 24% | NAC Breda 36%, with Heracles to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual NAC Breda win had been the model's second-ranked read at 36%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 59%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 81% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 62% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 58% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Heracles 64%, NAC Breda 52%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 60%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Heracles's trading profile (56 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 30% of games, a blank that repeated today.

NAC Breda's trading profile (56 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Heracles 0.98 PPG, NAC Breda 0.88 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the NAC Breda win broke the near-deadlock. Heracles (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.81 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 1 against a 1.89 average — tighter than their form line. NAC Breda (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 2.00 average — tighter than their form line.

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.
