📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Rubin beat Nizhny Novgorod 1-0 at Ak Bars Arena, Regular Season - 21, 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 Rubin 1.75 xG and Nizhny Novgorod 1.08 xG, a combined 2.82. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Nizhny Novgorod landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Rubin attack 1.08 / defence 1.02 against Nizhny Novgorod attack 0.91 / defence 1.19, drawn from 50/50 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Rubin 50% | Draw 30% | Nizhny Novgorod 20%, with Rubin to win its most likely call at 50%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 54%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 80% 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 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Rubin 46%, Nizhny Novgorod 48%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Rubin's trading profile (50 games, 25 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not.

Nizhny Novgorod's trading profile (50 games, 25 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% 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 — Rubin 1.42 PPG, Nizhny Novgorod 1.02 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Rubin win broke the near-deadlock. Rubin (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.40 average — tighter than their form line. Nizhny Novgorod (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.80 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 1 against a 1.88 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). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
