📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Estádio Cidade de Barcelos, Regular Season - 17, as GIL Vicente and Rio Ave drew 1-1 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 GIL Vicente 1.54 xG and Rio Ave 0.65 xG, a combined 2.19. The scoreboard read 1-1 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 GIL Vicente attack 0.97 / defence 0.83 against Rio Ave attack 0.65 / defence 1.15, drawn from 50/50 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it GIL Vicente 58% | Draw 27% | Rio Ave 15%, with GIL Vicente to win its most likely call at 58%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 38%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 65% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 38% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (GIL Vicente 52%, Rio Ave 40%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

GIL Vicente's trading profile (50 games, 24 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did.

Rio Ave's trading profile (50 games, 24 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — GIL Vicente 1.08 PPG, Rio Ave 1.12 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing.

Verdict
