📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Athletic Club beat Oviedo 1-2 at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere, Regular Season - 24, 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 Oviedo 0.85 xG and Athletic Club 0.89 xG, a combined 1.74. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Athletic Club outscored their 0.89 projection by 1.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Oviedo attack 0.53 / defence 0.88 against Athletic Club attack 0.90 / defence 1.06, drawn from 22/61 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Oviedo 30% | Draw 37% | Athletic Club 33%, with the draw its most likely call at 37%. The actual Athletic Club 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 25%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 53% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 35% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 36% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Oviedo 32%, Athletic Club 41%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 36%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Oviedo's trading profile (22 games, 11 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 27% of their matches — today it did.

Athletic Club's trading profile (22 games, 11 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

On form, Athletic Club arrived the stronger side — 1.14 PPG against 0.73. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Oviedo (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 1.00 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Athletic Club (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.91 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). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
