📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Oviedo beat Valencia 1-2 at Estadio de Mestalla, Regular Season - 7, in the La Liga. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Valencia 1.86 xG and Oviedo 0.50 xG, a combined 2.36. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Valencia fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Oviedo outscored their 0.50 projection by 1.5. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Valencia attack 1.15 / defence 0.77 against Oviedo attack 0.58 / defence 1.13, drawn from 44/6 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Valencia 70% | Draw 22% | Oviedo 8%, with Valencia to win its most likely call at 70%. Instead the game produced a Oviedo win, an outcome the model had rated at just 8% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 69% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 34% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 42% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Valencia 50%, Oviedo 33%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 25%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Valencia's trading profile (6 games, 3 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 33% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here.

Oviedo's trading profile (6 games, 3 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 17% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

On form, Valencia arrived the stronger side — 1.33 PPG against 0.50. Form was overturned, with Oviedo winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Valencia (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.00 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 0.33 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Oviedo (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.00 average — above their attacking norm.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
