📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Sarpsborg 08 FF beat Molde 0-2 at Aker Stadion, Regular Season - 1, in the Eliteserien. 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 Molde 1.88 xG and Sarpsborg 08 FF 1.36 xG, a combined 3.24. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Molde fell 1.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Molde attack 1.14 / defence 1.06 against Sarpsborg 08 FF attack 1.05 / defence 0.99, drawn from 30/30 games (PrevSeason).

On the result, the model split it Molde 50% | Draw 22% | Sarpsborg 08 FF 28%, with Molde to win its most likely call at 50%. The actual Sarpsborg 08 FF win had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 63%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 83% and landed. Over 3.5 was 41% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 63% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 70% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Molde 70%, Sarpsborg 08 FF 70%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 64%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Molde's trading profile (60 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
