📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

FC Zurich beat Lausanne 1-2 at Stade de la Tuiliere, Regular Season - 3, 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 Lausanne 1.61 xG and FC Zurich 1.36 xG, a combined 2.97. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 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 Lausanne attack 1.04 / defence 1.06 against FC Zurich attack 0.96 / defence 0.88, drawn from 35/35 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Lausanne 41% | Draw 29% | FC Zurich 30%, with Lausanne to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual FC Zurich win had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 57%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 82% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 62% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 59% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lausanne 58%, FC Zurich 60%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 60%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lausanne's trading profile (40 games, 20 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did.

FC Zurich's trading profile (40 games, 20 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Lausanne 1.40 PPG, FC Zurich 1.35 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the FC Zurich win broke the near-deadlock. Lausanne (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 1.90 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
