📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Sporting CP beat Tondela 0-3 at Estádio João Cardoso, Regular Season - 9, in the Primeira Liga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Tondela 0.72 xG and Sporting CP 1.76 xG, a combined 2.48. The scoreboard read 0-3 for 3 actual goals. Sporting CP outscored their 1.76 projection by 1.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Tondela attack 0.73 / defence 1.08 against Sporting CP attack 1.35 / defence 0.74, drawn from 8/42 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Tondela 13% | Draw 27% | Sporting CP 60%, with Sporting CP to win its most likely call at 60%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 45%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 73% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 44% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 62% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Tondela 62%, Sporting CP 62%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 38%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Tondela's trading profile (8 games, 3 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 25% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 75% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Sporting CP's trading profile (8 games, 3 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 50% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

On form, Sporting CP arrived the stronger side — 2.38 PPG against 0.62. That form edge translated into the three points. Tondela (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.00 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 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
