📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Samsunspor beat Galatasaray 4-1 at Samsun 19 Mayis Stadyumu, Regular Season - 32, in the Süper Lig. 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 Samsunspor 0.99 xG and Galatasaray 1.55 xG, a combined 2.54. The scoreboard read 4-1 for 5 actual goals. Samsunspor beat their projection by 3.0 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Samsunspor attack 0.86 / defence 1.01 against Galatasaray attack 1.35 / defence 0.79, drawn from 67/67 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Samsunspor 21% | Draw 32% | Galatasaray 47%, with Galatasaray to win its most likely call at 47%. Instead the game produced a Samsunspor win, an outcome the model had rated at just 21% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 47%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 75% and landed. Over 3.5 was 25% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 53% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 60% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Samsunspor 52%, Galatasaray 67%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Samsunspor's trading profile (67 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here.

Galatasaray's trading profile (67 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Galatasaray arrived the stronger side — 2.52 PPG against 1.63. Form was overturned, with Samsunspor winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Samsunspor (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 1.42 average — above their attacking norm. Galatasaray (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.27 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 4 against a 0.82 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit), form (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
