📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

FC Winterthur beat Grasshoppers 2-0 at Stadion Schützenwiese, Relegation Round - 1, 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 Winterthur 1.24 xG and Grasshoppers 1.17 xG, a combined 2.41. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Grasshoppers landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of FC Winterthur attack 0.84 / defence 1.00 against Grasshoppers attack 0.99 / defence 0.96, drawn from 66/66 games (CurrentSeason).

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 43%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 50% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (FC Winterthur 62%, Grasshoppers 45%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 60%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

FC Winterthur's trading profile (71 games, 35 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 63% of their matches — today it did not.

Grasshoppers's trading profile (71 games, 35 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 32% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — FC Winterthur 1.11 PPG, Grasshoppers 1.04 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the FC Winterthur win broke the near-deadlock. FC Winterthur (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.57 average — tighter than their form line. Grasshoppers (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.80 scoring average — below par going forward.
