📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Rizespor beat Kocaelispor 2-0 at Çaykur Didi Stadyumu, Regular Season - 23, 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 Rizespor 1.19 xG and Kocaelispor 1.07 xG, a combined 2.26. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Rizespor beat their projection by 0.8 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Kocaelispor landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Rizespor attack 0.86 / defence 1.09 against Kocaelispor attack 0.73 / defence 1.00, drawn from 58/22 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Rizespor 35% | Draw 37% | Kocaelispor 29%, with the draw its most likely call at 37%. The actual Rizespor win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 39%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 50% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Rizespor 54%, Kocaelispor 32%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Rizespor's trading profile (22 games, 10 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not.

Kocaelispor's trading profile (22 games, 10 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 41% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 36% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Kocaelispor arrived the stronger side — 1.36 PPG against 0.95. Form was overturned, with Rizespor winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Rizespor (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.00 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.40 average — tighter than their form line. Kocaelispor (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.80 scoring average — below par going forward.

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.
