📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Oviedo beat Real Sociedad 1-0 at Estadio Nuevo Carlos Tartiere, Regular Season - 3, in the La Liga. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Oviedo 1.00 xG and Real Sociedad 1.49 xG, a combined 2.49. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Real Sociedad landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Oviedo attack 0.71 / defence 1.34 against Real Sociedad attack 0.95 / defence 1.02, drawn from 2/40 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Oviedo 25% | Draw 26% | Real Sociedad 49%, with Real Sociedad to win its most likely call at 49%. Instead the game produced a Oviedo win, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 45%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 71% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 49% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Oviedo 50%, Real Sociedad 50%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Form vs Result

On form, Real Sociedad arrived the stronger side — 1.00 PPG against 0.00. Form was overturned, with Oviedo winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Oviedo scored 1 against a 0.00 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 2.50 average — tighter than their form line. Real Sociedad managed 0 against a 1.50 scoring average — below par going forward.

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). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
