📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Famalicao beat Santa Clara 3-0 at Estadio Municipal de Famalicao, Regular Season - 1, 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 1.31 xG and Santa Clara 1.03 xG, a combined 2.34. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals. Famalicao beat their projection by 1.7 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Santa Clara landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Famalicao attack 1.04 / defence 0.89 against Santa Clara attack 0.94 / defence 0.92, drawn from 34/34 games (PrevSeason).

On the result, the model split it Famalicao 43% | Draw 28% | Santa Clara 29%, with Famalicao to win its most likely call at 43%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 68% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 47% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 41% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Famalicao 53%, Santa Clara 29%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Famalicao's trading profile (34 games, 17 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 38% of the time, and duly kept one.

Santa Clara's trading profile (34 games, 17 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 41% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 32% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Famalicao 1.38 PPG, Santa Clara 1.68 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Famalicao win broke the near-deadlock. Famalicao (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.18 average — above their attacking norm. Santa Clara (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.06 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.06 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
