📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Valencia beat Sevilla 1-0 at Estadio de Mestalla, Regular Season - 31, 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 1.27 xG and Sevilla 1.30 xG, a combined 2.57. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Sevilla landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Valencia attack 0.94 / defence 0.97 against Sevilla attack 1.08 / defence 0.99, drawn from 68/68 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Valencia 36% | Draw 27% | Sevilla 37%, with Sevilla to win its most likely call at 37%. The actual Valencia win had been the model's second-ranked read at 36%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 47%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 73% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 52% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Valencia 46%, Sevilla 46%), 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

Valencia's trading profile (68 games, 34 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not.

Sevilla's trading profile (68 games, 34 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Valencia 1.22 PPG, Sevilla 1.13 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Valencia win broke the near-deadlock. Valencia (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.94 average — tighter than their form line. Sevilla (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.24 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
