📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Espanyol beat Getafe 0-1 at Coliseum, Regular Season - 16, 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 Getafe 0.97 xG and Espanyol 0.92 xG, a combined 1.89. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Getafe fell 1.0 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Getafe attack 0.79 / defence 0.88 against Espanyol attack 0.94 / defence 0.90, drawn from 53/53 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Getafe 35% | Draw 32% | Espanyol 33%, with Getafe to win its most likely call at 35%. The actual Espanyol win had been the model's second-ranked read at 33%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 29%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 56% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 37% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 38% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Getafe 34%, Espanyol 42%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Getafe's trading profile (53 games, 25 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 42% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Espanyol's trading profile (53 games, 25 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Getafe 1.17 PPG, Espanyol 1.30 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Espanyol win broke the near-deadlock. Getafe (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.88 scoring average — below par going forward. Espanyol (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.48 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
