📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Groningen beat Telstar 0-2 at BUKO Stadion, Regular Season - 29, 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 Telstar 1.69 xG and Groningen 1.33 xG, a combined 3.03. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Telstar fell 1.7 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Telstar attack 1.01 / defence 1.07 against Groningen attack 0.94 / defence 0.96, drawn from 28/62 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Telstar 45% | Draw 26% | Groningen 29%, with Telstar to win its most likely call at 45%. The actual Groningen win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 58%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 82% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 57% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Telstar 63%, Groningen 52%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Telstar's trading profile (62 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not.

Groningen's trading profile (62 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Telstar 1.42 PPG, Groningen 1.24 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Groningen win broke the near-deadlock. Telstar (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 2.19 scoring average — below par going forward. Groningen (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.97 average — above their attacking norm and 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). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
