📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

PEC Zwolle beat Twente 1-0 at MAC³PARK Stadion, Regular Season - 1, in the Eredivisie. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting PEC Zwolle 1.58 xG and Twente 1.15 xG, a combined 2.72. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Twente landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of PEC Zwolle attack 0.92 / defence 0.92 against Twente attack 1.00 / defence 0.96, drawn from 34/34 games (PrevSeason).

On the result, the model split it PEC Zwolle 45% | Draw 30% | Twente 25%, with PEC Zwolle to win its most likely call at 45%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 51%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 78% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (PEC Zwolle 44%, Twente 56%), 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

PEC Zwolle's trading profile (34 games, 17 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not.

Twente's trading profile (34 games, 17 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — PEC Zwolle 1.21 PPG, Twente 1.56 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the PEC Zwolle win broke the near-deadlock. PEC Zwolle (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.18 average — tighter than their form line. Twente (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.53 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). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
