📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Getafe beat Espanyol 1-2 at RCDE Stadium, Regular Season - 29, 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 Espanyol 0.93 xG and Getafe 1.10 xG, a combined 2.03. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Getafe outscored their 1.10 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Espanyol attack 0.78 / defence 1.18 against Getafe attack 0.84 / defence 0.77, drawn from 66/66 games (CurrentSeason).

Goals & Markets

On both teams to score, the model sat at 41% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 39% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Espanyol 46%, Getafe 32%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Getafe's trading profile (66 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 38% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Espanyol 1.20 PPG, Getafe 1.17 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Getafe win broke the near-deadlock. Espanyol (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 1.18 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Getafe (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.91 average — above their attacking norm.

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.
