📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Famalicao and Rio Ave finished level at 0-0 at Estadio Municipal de Famalicao, Regular Season - 7, 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 Famalicao 1.71 xG and Rio Ave 1.08 xG, a combined 2.79. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Famalicao fell 1.7 short of their projected output. Rio Ave landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Famalicao attack 1.08 / defence 0.82 against Rio Ave attack 1.10 / defence 1.22, drawn from 40/40 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Famalicao 52% | Draw 24% | Rio Ave 24%, with Famalicao to win its most likely call at 52%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 24% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 53%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 77% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 51% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Famalicao 50%, Rio Ave 52%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Famalicao's trading profile (40 games, 20 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time, and duly kept one.

Rio Ave's trading profile (40 games, 20 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 28% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Famalicao 1.45 PPG, Rio Ave 1.05 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Famalicao (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.20 scoring average — below par going forward. Rio Ave (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.95 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.90 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). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
