📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

SC Braga beat Rio Ave 3-0 at Estádio Municipal de Braga, Regular Season - 21, 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 SC Braga 2.53 xG and Rio Ave 0.94 xG, a combined 3.46. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals. Rio Ave landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of SC Braga attack 1.32 / defence 0.83 against Rio Ave attack 0.90 / defence 1.24, drawn from 54/54 games (CurrentSeason).

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 67%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 86% and landed. Over 3.5 was 46% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (SC Braga 54%, Rio Ave 56%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

SC Braga's trading profile (54 games, 26 home) 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.

Rio Ave's trading profile (54 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 33% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, SC Braga arrived the stronger side — 1.89 PPG against 1.07. Form held, and they took the win. SC Braga (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 2.00 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line. Rio Ave (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.96 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.85 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
