📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Helsingborg and Ostersunds FK finished level at 0-0 at Olympia, Regular Season - 11, in the Superettan. 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 Helsingborg 1.13 xG and Ostersunds FK 1.25 xG, a combined 2.39. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Helsingborg fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Ostersunds FK landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Helsingborg attack 0.85 / defence 1.12 against Ostersunds FK attack 0.82 / defence 0.92, drawn from 40/40 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Helsingborg 33% | Draw 28% | Ostersunds FK 39%, with Ostersunds FK to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 43%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 69% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Helsingborg 48%, Ostersunds FK 50%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Helsingborg's trading profile (60 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 32% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Ostersunds FK's trading profile (60 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Helsingborg 1.33 PPG, Ostersunds FK 1.30 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Helsingborg (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.20 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.07 average — tighter than their form line. Ostersunds FK (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.97 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.47 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
