📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

SC Braga beat Santa Clara 0-2 at Estádio de São Miguel, Regular Season - 15, 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 0.91 xG and SC Braga 1.05 xG, a combined 1.96. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Santa Clara fell 0.9 short of their projected output. SC Braga outscored their 1.05 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Santa Clara attack 0.82 / defence 0.85 against SC Braga attack 1.11 / defence 0.80, drawn from 14/48 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Santa Clara 30% | Draw 31% | SC Braga 38%, with SC Braga to win its most likely call at 38%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 31%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 58% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 39% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Santa Clara 29%, SC Braga 57%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 39%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Santa Clara's trading profile (14 games, 6 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 29% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.

SC Braga's trading profile (14 games, 6 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Santa Clara 1.93 PPG, SC Braga 1.79 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the SC Braga win broke the near-deadlock. Santa Clara (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.33 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 0.33 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A strong night for the model: the result sat comfortably inside what the pre-match data projected.
