📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Nizhny Novgorod beat Akhmat 1-0 at Stadion Nizhny Novgorod, Regular Season - 26, in the Premier League. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Nizhny Novgorod 1.15 xG and Akhmat 1.20 xG, a combined 2.35. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Akhmat landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Nizhny Novgorod attack 0.75 / defence 1.24 against Akhmat attack 0.87 / defence 1.01, drawn from 55/55 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Nizhny Novgorod 32% | Draw 34% | Akhmat 34%, with Akhmat to win its most likely call at 34%. The actual Nizhny Novgorod win had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. 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 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Nizhny Novgorod 47%, Akhmat 46%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Nizhny Novgorod's trading profile (55 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not.

Akhmat's trading profile (55 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Nizhny Novgorod 0.95 PPG, Akhmat 1.05 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Nizhny Novgorod win broke the near-deadlock. Nizhny Novgorod (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.67 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
