📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Atletico Madrid beat Girona 1-0 at Metropolitano Stadium, Regular Season - 37, in the La Liga. 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 Atletico Madrid 1.59 xG and Girona 1.05 xG, a combined 2.63. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Girona landed 1.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Atletico Madrid attack 1.13 / defence 0.99 against Girona attack 0.92 / defence 0.93, drawn from 74/74 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Atletico Madrid 50% | Draw 25% | Girona 25%, with Atletico Madrid to win its most likely call at 50%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 49%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 74% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 52% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Atletico Madrid 47%, Girona 51%), 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

Atletico Madrid's trading profile (74 games, 37 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and duly kept one.

Girona's trading profile (74 games, 37 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 27% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Atletico Madrid arrived the stronger side — 1.92 PPG against 1.09. That form edge translated into the three points. Atletico Madrid (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.16 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 0.86 average — tighter than their form line. Girona (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.95 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict
