📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

CSKA Moscow beat Nizhny Novgorod 2-0 at VEB Arena, Regular Season - 30, in the Premier League. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting CSKA Moscow 1.72 xG and Nizhny Novgorod 0.63 xG, a combined 2.35. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of CSKA Moscow attack 0.98 / defence 0.77 against Nizhny Novgorod attack 0.75 / defence 1.20, drawn from 59/59 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it CSKA Moscow 62% | Draw 27% | Nizhny Novgorod 12%, with CSKA Moscow to win its most likely call at 62%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 40% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (CSKA Moscow 51%, Nizhny Novgorod 48%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

CSKA Moscow's trading profile (59 games, 29 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and duly kept one.

Nizhny Novgorod's trading profile (59 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, CSKA Moscow arrived the stronger side — 1.76 PPG against 1.00. The form guide was vindicated by the result. CSKA Moscow (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.93 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict
