📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Athletic Club beat Celta Vigo 1-2 at Estadio Abanca-Balaídos, Regular Season - 20, in the La Liga. 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 Celta Vigo 1.43 xG and Athletic Club 1.01 xG, a combined 2.43. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Athletic Club outscored their 1.01 projection by 1.0. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Celta Vigo attack 1.17 / defence 0.82 against Athletic Club attack 1.05 / defence 0.88, drawn from 57/57 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Celta Vigo 47% | Draw 27% | Athletic Club 27%, with Celta Vigo to win its most likely call at 47%. The actual Athletic Club win had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 44%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Celta Vigo 58%, Athletic Club 42%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Celta Vigo's trading profile (57 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did.

Athletic Club's trading profile (57 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Athletic Club arrived the stronger side — 1.82 PPG against 1.14. Form held, and they took the win. Celta Vigo (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 1.07 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Athletic Club (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.14 average — above their attacking norm.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
