📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Nacional beat AVS 3-1 at Estádio da Madeira, Regular Season - 18, 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 Nacional 1.14 xG and AVS 0.76 xG, a combined 1.89. The scoreboard read 3-1 for 4 actual goals. Nacional beat their projection by 1.9 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Nacional attack 0.80 / defence 0.90 against AVS attack 0.69 / defence 1.02, drawn from 17/17 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Nacional 44% | Draw 33% | AVS 23%, with Nacional to win its most likely call at 44%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 29%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 57% and landed. Over 3.5 was 12% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 37% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 29% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Nacional 29%, AVS 29%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 41%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Nacional's trading profile (17 games, 8 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 29% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here.

AVS's trading profile (17 games, 8 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Nacional 0.94 PPG, AVS 0.88 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Nacional win broke the near-deadlock. Nacional (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.00 average — above their attacking norm. AVS (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.50 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
