📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Utrecht beat PEC Zwolle 0-2 at MAC³PARK Stadion, Regular Season - 4, 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 1.50 xG and Utrecht 1.08 xG, a combined 2.58. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. PEC Zwolle fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Utrecht outscored their 1.08 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of PEC Zwolle attack 0.89 / defence 0.81 against Utrecht attack 1.03 / defence 0.95, drawn from 36/37 games (CurrentSeason).

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

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 48%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 74% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 52% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 53% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (PEC Zwolle 42%, Utrecht 64%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

PEC Zwolle's trading profile (36 games, 18 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 28% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Utrecht's trading profile (36 games, 18 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 64% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

On form, Utrecht arrived the stronger side — 1.86 PPG against 1.31. Form held, and they took the win. PEC Zwolle (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.39 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.11 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Utrecht (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.28 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
