The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Boavista 0.92 xG and Estrela 0.94 xG, a combined 1.86. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Boavista fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Boavista attack 0.65 / defence 1.33 against Estrela attack 0.60 / defence 1.01, drawn from 55/55 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Boavista 32% | Draw 34% | Estrela 34%, with Estrela to win its most likely call at 34%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 28%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 56% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 38% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Boavista 51%, Estrela 46%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Boavista's trading profile (55 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 40% of games, a blank that repeated today.
