📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

FC Zurich beat FC Lugano 0-3 at Stadio di Cornaredo, Regular Season - 26, in the Super League. 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 FC Lugano 1.91 xG and FC Zurich 1.24 xG, a combined 3.15. The scoreboard read 0-3 for 3 actual goals. FC Lugano fell 1.9 short of their projected output. FC Zurich outscored their 1.24 projection by 1.8. Those figures were built on strength ratings of FC Lugano attack 1.13 / defence 1.05 against FC Zurich attack 1.00 / defence 1.01, drawn from 58/58 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it FC Lugano 53% | Draw 23% | FC Zurich 24%, with FC Lugano to win its most likely call at 53%. Instead the game produced a FC Zurich win, an outcome the model had rated at just 24% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 61%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 83% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (FC Lugano 60%, FC Zurich 49%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

FC Lugano's trading profile (63 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not.

FC Zurich's trading profile (63 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — FC Lugano 1.70 PPG, FC Zurich 1.52 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the FC Zurich win broke the near-deadlock. FC Lugano (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.84 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 3 against a 1.26 concession average — a leakier day than usual. FC Zurich (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.42 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.39 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

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