📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Grasshoppers beat FC Lugano 1-0 at Letzigrund Stadion, Regular Season - 27, 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 Grasshoppers 1.02 xG and FC Lugano 1.44 xG, a combined 2.45. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. FC Lugano landed 1.4 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Grasshoppers attack 0.77 / defence 1.02 against FC Lugano attack 0.92 / defence 0.76, drawn from 59/59 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Grasshoppers 23% | Draw 33% | FC Lugano 43%, with FC Lugano to win its most likely call at 43%. Instead the game produced a Grasshoppers win, an outcome the model had rated at just 23% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Their combined BTTS history runs at 62%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
