📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

FC Porto beat Nacional 3-0 at Estádio Do Dragão, Regular Season - 34, 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 FC Porto 1.68 xG and Nacional 0.74 xG, a combined 2.42. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals. FC Porto beat their projection by 1.3 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of FC Porto attack 1.28 / defence 0.92 against Nacional attack 0.66 / defence 1.02, drawn from 67/33 games (CurrentSeason).

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 44%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 43% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (FC Porto 52%, Nacional 42%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 41%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

FC Porto's trading profile (33 games, 16 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 46% of the time, and duly kept one.

Nacional's trading profile (33 games, 16 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 39% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 42% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, FC Porto arrived the stronger side — 2.06 PPG against 1.03. Form held, and they took the win. Nacional (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.25 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
