📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

FC Porto beat AVS 2-0 at Estádio Do Dragão, Regular Season - 16, 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 FC Porto 2.79 xG and AVS 0.59 xG, a combined 3.37. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of FC Porto attack 1.20 / defence 0.66 against AVS attack 0.69 / defence 1.68, drawn from 49/49 games (CurrentSeason).

FC Porto's trading profile (49 games, 24 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 37% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 55% of the time, and duly kept one.

AVS's trading profile (49 games, 24 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 39% of games, a blank that repeated today.
