📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

FC Zurich beat FC Luzern 3-2 at Stadion Letzigrund, Regular Season - 28, in the Super League. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting FC Zurich 1.25 xG and FC Luzern 1.44 xG, a combined 2.69. The scoreboard read 3-2 for 5 actual goals. FC Zurich beat their projection by 1.8 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of FC Zurich attack 0.71 / defence 1.09 against FC Luzern attack 1.09 / defence 1.06, drawn from 60/60 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it FC Zurich 32% | Draw 27% | FC Luzern 41%, with FC Luzern to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual FC Zurich win had been the model's second-ranked read at 32%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (FC Zurich 51%, FC Luzern 54%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 59%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

FC Zurich's trading profile (65 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here.
