📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Santa Clara beat Estoril 0-1 at Estádio António Coimbra da Mota, Regular Season - 3, in the Primeira Liga. 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 Estoril 1.56 xG and Santa Clara 1.09 xG, a combined 2.65. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Estoril fell 1.6 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Estoril attack 1.03 / defence 1.02 against Santa Clara attack 0.86 / defence 1.08, drawn from 37/37 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Estoril 48% | Draw 26% | Santa Clara 26%, with Estoril to win its most likely call at 48%. The actual Santa Clara win had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 49%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 75% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 53% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Estoril 70%, Santa Clara 30%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Estoril's trading profile (37 games, 18 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 30% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Santa Clara's trading profile (37 games, 18 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 38% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Estoril 1.30 PPG, Santa Clara 1.57 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Santa Clara win broke the near-deadlock. Estoril (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.33 scoring average — below par going forward. Santa Clara (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.17 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
