📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Grasshoppers beat FC Luzern 3-1 at Stadion Letzigrund, Regular Season - 31, 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 Grasshoppers 1.45 xG and FC Luzern 1.70 xG, a combined 3.15. The scoreboard read 3-1 for 4 actual goals. Grasshoppers beat their projection by 1.6 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Grasshoppers attack 0.83 / defence 1.05 against FC Luzern attack 1.28 / defence 1.17, drawn from 63/63 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Grasshoppers 32% | Draw 26% | FC Luzern 43%, with FC Luzern to win its most likely call at 43%. The actual Grasshoppers 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

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 61%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 83% and landed. Over 3.5 was 39% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 64% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 49% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Grasshoppers 44%, FC Luzern 54%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 62%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Grasshoppers's trading profile (68 games, 34 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did.

FC Luzern's trading profile (68 games, 34 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 68% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

Grasshoppers (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.35 average — above their attacking norm. FC Luzern (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.79 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
