📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Moreirense beat Arouca 0-2 at Estádio Municipal de Arouca, Regular Season - 10, in the Primeira Liga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Arouca 1.56 xG and Moreirense 1.50 xG, a combined 3.06. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Arouca fell 1.6 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Arouca attack 0.96 / defence 1.27 against Moreirense attack 0.90 / defence 1.23, drawn from 43/43 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Arouca 38% | Draw 27% | Moreirense 35%, with Arouca to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Moreirense win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 59%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 82% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 63% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Arouca 51%, Moreirense 56%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Arouca's trading profile (43 games, 21 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 30% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Moreirense's trading profile (43 games, 21 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Arouca 1.09 PPG, Moreirense 1.28 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Moreirense win broke the near-deadlock. Arouca (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.10 scoring average — below par going forward. Moreirense (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.10 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.76 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
