📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Barcelona beat Mallorca 1-0 at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, Regular Season - 33, 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 Barcelona 2.09 xG and Mallorca 0.95 xG, a combined 3.04. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Barcelona fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Mallorca landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Barcelona attack 1.66 / defence 0.88 against Mallorca attack 0.85 / defence 0.95, drawn from 70/70 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Barcelona 64% | Draw 20% | Mallorca 16%, with Barcelona to win its most likely call at 64%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 58%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 81% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Barcelona 66%, Mallorca 33%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Barcelona's trading profile (70 games, 34 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 39% of the time, and duly kept one.

Mallorca's trading profile (70 games, 34 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 37% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Barcelona arrived the stronger side — 2.26 PPG against 1.20. That form edge translated into the three points. Barcelona (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.53 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.03 average — tighter than their form line. Mallorca (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.88 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
