How It Unfolded

SC Braga beat Tondela 0-1 at Estádio João Cardoso, Regular Season - 18, 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 Tondela 0.98 xG and SC Braga 1.92 xG, a combined 2.90. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Tondela fell 1.0 short of their projected output. SC Braga landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Tondela attack 0.75 / defence 1.19 against SC Braga attack 1.28 / defence 0.91, drawn from 17/51 games (CurrentSeason).

Their combined BTTS history runs at 44%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
