📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Celta Vigo beat Real Betis 3-2 at Estadio Abanca-Balaídos, Regular Season - 23, 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 Real Betis 0.91 xG, a combined 2.34. The scoreboard read 3-2 for 5 actual goals. Celta Vigo beat their projection by 1.6 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Real Betis outscored their 0.91 projection by 1.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Celta Vigo attack 1.08 / defence 0.93 against Real Betis attack 0.87 / defence 0.94, drawn from 60/60 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Celta Vigo 49% | Draw 27% | Real Betis 24%, with Celta Vigo to win its most likely call at 49%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Celta Vigo 58%, Real Betis 40%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Celta Vigo's trading profile (60 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did.

Real Betis's trading profile (60 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Celta Vigo 1.10 PPG, Real Betis 1.43 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Celta Vigo win broke the near-deadlock. Celta Vigo (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.30 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 2 against a 1.13 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Real Betis (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.00 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 3 against a 1.33 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), 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.
