📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

FC Porto beat Nacional 0-1 at Estádio da Madeira, Regular Season - 22, 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 1.05 xG and FC Porto 1.61 xG, a combined 2.66. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Nacional fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Nacional attack 1.10 / defence 1.10 against FC Porto attack 1.17 / defence 0.61, drawn from 55/55 games (CurrentSeason).

Their combined BTTS history runs at 42%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Nacional's trading profile (55 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 36% of games, a blank that repeated today.

FC Porto's trading profile (55 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 36% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 56% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result
