📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Sandefjord beat Molde 3-0 at Jotun Arena, Regular Season - 2, 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 Sandefjord 1.40 xG and Molde 1.18 xG, a combined 2.58. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals. Sandefjord beat their projection by 1.6 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Molde landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Sandefjord attack 0.96 / defence 1.02 against Molde attack 1.08 / defence 0.91, drawn from 31/31 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Sandefjord 42% | Draw 26% | Molde 32%, with Sandefjord to win its most likely call at 42%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 48%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 73% 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 66% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Sandefjord 62%, Molde 70%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 59%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Sandefjord's trading profile (60 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not.

Molde's trading profile (60 games, 30 away) 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.

Form vs Result

On form, Molde arrived the stronger side — 1.72 PPG against 1.08. Form was overturned, with Sandefjord winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Sandefjord (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.63 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.27 average — tighter than their form line. Molde (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.77 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.20 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), 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.
