📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at De Grolsch Veste, Regular Season - 28, as Twente and Fortuna Sittard drew 1-1 in the Eredivisie. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Twente 2.14 xG and Fortuna Sittard 1.39 xG, a combined 3.53. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Twente fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Twente attack 1.29 / defence 1.09 against Fortuna Sittard attack 0.95 / defence 1.04, drawn from 61/61 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Twente 55% | Draw 21% | Fortuna Sittard 25%, with Twente to win its most likely call at 55%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 21% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 69%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 87% and landed. Over 3.5 was 47% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 66% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 61% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Twente 64%, Fortuna Sittard 57%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Twente's trading profile (61 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and conceded here.

Fortuna Sittard's trading profile (61 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

On form, Twente arrived the stronger side — 1.89 PPG against 1.15. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Twente (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.33 scoring average — below par going forward. Fortuna Sittard (home/away splits) conceded 1 against a 2.00 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
