📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Khimki beat Fakel 1-0 at Arena Khimki, Regular Season - 19, 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 Khimki 1.43 xG and Fakel 1.27 xG, a combined 2.70. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Fakel landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Khimki attack 0.96 / defence 1.20 against Fakel attack 0.86 / defence 1.09, drawn from 18/48 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Khimki 37% | Draw 33% | Fakel 30%, with Khimki to win its most likely call at 37%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 51%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 79% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 58% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Khimki 56%, Fakel 33%), 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

Khimki's trading profile (18 games, 8 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 61% of their matches — today it did not.

Fakel's trading profile (18 games, 8 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 50% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Khimki 0.89 PPG, Fakel 0.78 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Khimki win broke the near-deadlock. Khimki (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.62 average — tighter than their form line. Fakel (home/away splits) conceded 1 against a 2.00 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (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.
