📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Viking beat Molde 1-0 at Lyse Arena, Regular Season - 22, 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 Viking 2.05 xG and Molde 1.26 xG, a combined 3.31. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Viking fell 1.0 short of their projected output. Molde landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Viking attack 1.24 / defence 0.98 against Molde attack 0.93 / defence 1.00, drawn from 51/51 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Viking 55% | Draw 23% | Molde 22%, with Viking to win its most likely call at 55%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 64%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 85% and missed. Over 3.5 was 42% 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 66% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Viking 67%, Molde 65%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 61%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Viking's trading profile (51 games, 25 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 71% of their matches — today it did not.

Molde's trading profile (51 games, 25 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Viking arrived the stronger side — 2.02 PPG against 1.55. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Viking (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.40 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.24 average — tighter than their form line. Molde (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.52 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict
