The Model vs The Result

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 45%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 71% and missed.

Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Rayo Vallecano 43%, Real Madrid 61%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Rayo Vallecano's trading profile (49 games, 23 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Real Madrid's trading profile (49 games, 23 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 41% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

Rayo Vallecano (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.17 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.26 average — tighter than their form line.
