📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Sevilla beat Real Sociedad 1-0 at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, Regular Season - 34, 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 Sevilla 1.49 xG and Real Sociedad 1.52 xG, a combined 3.00. 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 Sevilla attack 0.84 / defence 1.09 against Real Sociedad attack 1.19 / defence 1.15, drawn from 71/71 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Sevilla 37% | Draw 24% | Real Sociedad 38%, with Real Sociedad to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Sevilla 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 58%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 80% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 60% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Sevilla 48%, Real Sociedad 51%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Sevilla's trading profile (71 games, 35 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not.

Real Sociedad's trading profile (71 games, 35 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 32% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Sevilla 1.06 PPG, Real Sociedad 1.25 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Sevilla win broke the near-deadlock. Sevilla (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.31 average — tighter than their form line. Real Sociedad (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
