📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Valencia beat Sevilla 0-2 at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, Regular Season - 29, 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 Sevilla 1.35 xG and Valencia 1.12 xG, a combined 2.47. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Sevilla fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Valencia outscored their 1.12 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Sevilla attack 0.82 / defence 1.13 against Valencia attack 0.88 / defence 1.05, drawn from 66/66 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Sevilla 42% | Draw 28% | Valencia 30%, with Sevilla to win its most likely call at 42%. The actual Valencia win had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 45%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 71% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 50% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Sevilla 48%, Valencia 44%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Sevilla's trading profile (66 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not.

Valencia's trading profile (66 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Sevilla 1.09 PPG, Valencia 1.18 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Valencia win broke the near-deadlock. Sevilla (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.09 scoring average — below par going forward. Valencia (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.88 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.85 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
