📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Baltika and FC Rostov finished level at 0-0 at Rostec Arena, Regular Season - 9, in the Premier League. 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 Baltika 1.21 xG and FC Rostov 1.18 xG, a combined 2.39. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Baltika fell 1.2 short of their projected output. FC Rostov landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Baltika attack 0.82 / defence 0.98 against FC Rostov attack 0.97 / defence 1.00, drawn from 8/38 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Baltika 34% | Draw 33% | FC Rostov 33%, with Baltika to win its most likely call at 34%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 43%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 71% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 31% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Baltika 25%, FC Rostov 38%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Baltika's trading profile (8 games, 3 home) 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.

FC Rostov's trading profile (8 games, 3 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 25% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Baltika arrived the stronger side — 2.00 PPG against 1.00. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Baltika (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.33 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line. FC Rostov (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.67 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
