📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Santa Clara beat Casa Pia 2-1 at Estádio de São Miguel, Regular Season - 20, 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 Santa Clara 1.05 xG and Casa Pia 1.44 xG, a combined 2.49. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals. Santa Clara beat their projection by 1.0 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Santa Clara attack 0.76 / defence 1.06 against Casa Pia attack 1.18 / defence 0.98, drawn from 19/53 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Santa Clara 27% | Draw 27% | Casa Pia 46%, with Casa Pia to win its most likely call at 46%. The actual Santa Clara win had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Form vs Result
