📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Sporting CP beat Boavista 0-5 at Estádio do Bessa Século XXI, Regular Season - 31, in the Primeira Liga. 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 Boavista 0.71 xG and Sporting CP 2.40 xG, a combined 3.11. The scoreboard read 0-5 for 5 actual goals. Sporting CP outscored their 2.40 projection by 2.6. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Boavista attack 0.67 / defence 1.32 against Sporting CP attack 1.54 / defence 0.84, drawn from 64/64 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Boavista 9% | Draw 16% | Sporting CP 75%, with Sporting CP to win its most likely call at 75%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 60%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 82% and landed. Over 3.5 was 38% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 61% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Boavista 48%, Sporting CP 73%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Boavista's trading profile (64 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 41% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Sporting CP's trading profile (64 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 45% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Sporting CP arrived the stronger side — 2.53 PPG against 0.83. Form held, and they took the win. Boavista (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.88 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 5 against a 1.69 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Sporting CP (home/away splits) scored 5 against a 2.53 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 0.97 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 4 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (hit). A strong night for the model: the result sat comfortably inside what the pre-match data projected.
