📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Valencia beat Getafe 3-0 at Estadio de Mestalla, Regular Season - 3, 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 Valencia 1.07 xG and Getafe 1.24 xG, a combined 2.31. The scoreboard read 3-0 for 3 actual goals. Valencia beat their projection by 1.9 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Getafe landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Valencia attack 0.95 / defence 0.92 against Getafe attack 1.14 / defence 0.82, drawn from 40/40 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Valencia 32% | Draw 28% | Getafe 40%, with Getafe to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual Valencia win had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 67% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 47% 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 (Valencia 42%, Getafe 35%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Valencia's trading profile (40 games, 20 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not.

Getafe's trading profile (40 games, 20 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 40% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Valencia 1.18 PPG, Getafe 1.20 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Valencia win broke the near-deadlock. Valencia (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.35 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.05 average — tighter than their form line. Getafe (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.10 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.00 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

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