📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Real Betis beat Villarreal 2-0 at Estadio de La Cartuja, 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 Real Betis 1.67 xG and Villarreal 1.70 xG, a combined 3.37. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Villarreal landed 1.7 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Real Betis attack 1.32 / defence 1.10 against Villarreal attack 1.38 / defence 0.89, drawn from 57/56 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Real Betis 37% | Draw 25% | Villarreal 38%, with Villarreal to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Real Betis win had been the model's second-ranked read at 37%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 66%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 86% and landed. Over 3.5 was 44% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 68% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 58% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Real Betis 54%, Villarreal 62%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 65%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Real Betis's trading profile (56 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 68% of their matches — today it did not.

Villarreal's trading profile (56 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

On form, Villarreal arrived the stronger side — 1.98 PPG against 1.57. Form was overturned, with Real Betis winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Real Betis (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.15 average — tighter than their form line. Villarreal (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.56 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict
