📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Rayo Vallecano beat Getafe 1-0 at Estadio de Vallecas, Regular Season - 34, 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 Rayo Vallecano 0.90 xG and Getafe 1.52 xG, a combined 2.42. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Getafe landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Rayo Vallecano attack 0.86 / defence 1.23 against Getafe attack 1.04 / defence 0.78, drawn from 71/71 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Rayo Vallecano 22% | Draw 26% | Getafe 52%, with Getafe to win its most likely call at 52%. Instead the game produced a Rayo Vallecano win, an outcome the model had rated at just 22% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 44%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 70% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 39% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Rayo Vallecano 41%, Getafe 37%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Rayo Vallecano's trading profile (71 games, 35 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not.

Getafe's trading profile (71 games, 35 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 39% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Rayo Vallecano 1.11 PPG, Getafe 1.15 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Rayo Vallecano win broke the near-deadlock. Rayo Vallecano (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.43 average — tighter than their form line. Getafe (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.11 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
