📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Estrela beat Famalicao 2-3 at Estadio Municipal de Famalicao, Regular Season - 16, 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 Famalicao 2.01 xG and Estrela 0.88 xG, a combined 2.89. The scoreboard read 2-3 for 5 actual goals. Estrela outscored their 0.88 projection by 2.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Famalicao attack 1.15 / defence 0.73 against Estrela attack 0.95 / defence 1.30, drawn from 49/49 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Famalicao 64% | Draw 21% | Estrela 16%, with Famalicao to win its most likely call at 64%. Instead the game produced a Estrela win, an outcome the model had rated at just 16% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 78% and landed. Over 3.5 was 33% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 42% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Famalicao 47%, Estrela 37%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 43%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Famalicao's trading profile (49 games, 24 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time, and conceded here.

Estrela's trading profile (49 games, 24 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 37% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result
