📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Arouca beat Moreirense 0-1 at Parque Joaquim de Almeida Freitas, Regular Season - 27, in the Primeira Liga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Moreirense 1.50 xG and Arouca 1.38 xG, a combined 2.88. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Moreirense fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Moreirense attack 0.82 / defence 1.17 against Arouca attack 1.01 / defence 1.21, drawn from 60/60 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Moreirense 40% | Draw 25% | Arouca 35%, with Moreirense to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual Arouca win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 78% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 58% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Moreirense 55%, Arouca 57%), 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

Moreirense's trading profile (60 games, 29 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 25% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Arouca's trading profile (60 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Moreirense 1.25 PPG, Arouca 1.07 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Arouca win broke the near-deadlock. Moreirense (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.31 scoring average — below par going forward. Arouca (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.97 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). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
