📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Stadio di Cornaredo, Regular Season - 23, as FC Lugano and Grasshoppers drew 1-1 in the Super League. 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 FC Lugano 1.49 xG and Grasshoppers 1.12 xG, a combined 2.61. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of FC Lugano attack 1.23 / defence 1.16 against Grasshoppers attack 0.78 / defence 0.77, drawn from 55/55 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it FC Lugano 44% | Draw 29% | Grasshoppers 27%, with FC Lugano to win its most likely call at 44%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 48%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 75% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (FC Lugano 63%, Grasshoppers 42%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Form vs Result
