📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Rio Ave 1.32 xG and GIL Vicente 1.52 xG, a combined 2.85. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Rio Ave fell 1.3 short of their projected output. GIL Vicente landed 1.5 under their projected return.

On the result, the model split it Rio Ave 33% | Draw 25% | GIL Vicente 42%, with GIL Vicente to win its most likely call at 42%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 54%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 78% and missed.

Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Rio Ave 55%, GIL Vicente 48%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

GIL Vicente (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.09 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.44 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict
