📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Fredrikstad beat Molde 1-2 at Aker Stadion, Regular Season - 21, in the Eliteserien. 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 Molde 1.49 xG and Fredrikstad 0.82 xG, a combined 2.32. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Fredrikstad outscored their 0.82 projection by 1.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Molde attack 1.01 / defence 0.79 against Fredrikstad attack 0.77 / defence 0.87, drawn from 50/49 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Molde 52% | Draw 27% | Fredrikstad 20%, with Molde to win its most likely call at 52%. Instead the game produced a Fredrikstad win, an outcome the model had rated at just 20% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 68% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 44% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 51% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Molde 63%, Fredrikstad 39%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Molde's trading profile (49 games, 23 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here.

Fredrikstad's trading profile (49 games, 23 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 41% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 39% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Molde 1.55 PPG, Fredrikstad 1.59 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Fredrikstad win broke the near-deadlock. Molde (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.09 scoring average — below par going forward. Fredrikstad (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.13 average — above their attacking norm.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
