📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Umeå FC beat Helsingborg 1-0 at Umea Energi Arena, Regular Season - 26, in the Superettan. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Umeå FC 0.85 xG and Helsingborg 1.48 xG, a combined 2.32. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Helsingborg landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Umeå FC attack 0.58 / defence 1.30 against Helsingborg attack 0.96 / defence 0.95, drawn from 25/55 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Umeå FC 21% | Draw 28% | Helsingborg 51%, with Helsingborg to win its most likely call at 51%. Instead the game produced a Umeå FC win, an outcome the model had rated at just 21% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 41%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 68% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Umeå FC 48%, Helsingborg 44%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 42%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Umeå FC's trading profile (25 games, 12 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not.

Helsingborg's trading profile (25 games, 12 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 36% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 40% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Helsingborg arrived the stronger side — 1.36 PPG against 0.36. Form was overturned, with Umeå FC winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Umeå FC (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.75 average — tighter than their form line. Helsingborg (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.17 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (miss). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
