📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Sevilla beat Girona 1-2 at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi, Regular Season - 20, in the La Liga. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Girona 2.37 xG and Sevilla 1.47 xG, a combined 3.84. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Girona fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Girona attack 1.27 / defence 1.12 against Sevilla attack 1.13 / defence 1.34, drawn from 57/57 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Girona 58% | Draw 19% | Sevilla 23%, with Girona to win its most likely call at 58%. Instead the game produced a Sevilla win, an outcome the model had rated at just 23% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 74%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 90% and landed. Over 3.5 was 54% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 70% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 53% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Girona 60%, Sevilla 46%), 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

Girona's trading profile (57 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here.

Sevilla's trading profile (57 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

On form, Girona arrived the stronger side — 1.91 PPG against 1.12. Form was overturned, with Sevilla winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Girona (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.54 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.18 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Sevilla (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.18 average — above their attacking norm.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (miss). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
