📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Beşiktaş beat Galatasaray 2-1 at Tüpraş Stadyumu, Regular Season - 29, in the Süper Lig. 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 Beşiktaş 1.25 xG and Galatasaray 1.72 xG, a combined 2.96. The scoreboard read 2-1 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 Beşiktaş attack 0.96 / defence 0.98 against Galatasaray attack 1.46 / defence 0.79, drawn from 64/65 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Beşiktaş 27% | Draw 25% | Galatasaray 48%, with Galatasaray to win its most likely call at 48%. The actual Beşiktaş win had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, 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 — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 80% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 59% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 57% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Beşiktaş 45%, Galatasaray 69%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Beşiktaş's trading profile (64 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and conceded here.

Galatasaray's trading profile (64 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 41% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Galatasaray arrived the stronger side — 2.69 PPG against 1.56. Form was overturned, with Beşiktaş winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Galatasaray (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.39 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 0.77 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (miss). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
