📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Rubin beat Baltika 0-1 at Rostec Arena, Regular Season - 28, 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 0.94 xG and Rubin 0.79 xG, a combined 1.73. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Baltika fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Baltika attack 0.93 / defence 0.93 against Rubin attack 0.80 / defence 0.74, drawn from 27/57 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Baltika 37% | Draw 34% | Rubin 29%, with Baltika to win its most likely call at 37%. The actual Rubin win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 25%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 52% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 33% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 30% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Baltika 26%, Rubin 33%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 33%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Baltika's trading profile (27 games, 13 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 37% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 52% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Rubin's trading profile (27 games, 13 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 30% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 48% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Baltika 1.70 PPG, Rubin 1.44 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Rubin win broke the near-deadlock. Baltika (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.46 scoring average — below par going forward. Rubin (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.23 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
