Offensively they are averaging 1.80 goals per game, with 1.70 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.

Trading Data
Valour goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (28 games, 14 at home): they score before half-time in 79% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 67% of the time; BTTS occurs in 29% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 43% of games (home games).
HFX Wanderers FC goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (28 games, 14 at away): they score before half-time in 71% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 29% of the time; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 43% of games (away games); they fail to score in 36% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Valour 43% versus HFX Wanderers FC 50%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Valour 50% | HFX Wanderers FC 43%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Valour 1.35 xG and HFX Wanderers FC 0.93 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Valour attack 0.987 / defence 0.990 | HFX Wanderers FC attack 0.819 / defence 0.876. League average goals — home 1.563 / away 1.147. Data: 31 Valour games / 32 HFX Wanderers FC games used (Blended). A blend of current and prior-season data is applied to stabilise estimates early in the campaign.
Result probabilities: Valour 47% | Draw 28% | HFX Wanderers FC 26%. Fair-value odds: Valour 2.13 | Draw 3.57 | HFX Wanderers FC 3.85. Valour hold a narrow Poisson edge at 47% — the draw (28%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 40% | BTTS probability 45% | Total xG 2.28. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 60% — total xG of 2.28 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS probability of 45% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates Valour as the most likely outcome at 47% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 28% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Valour if the outright odds are short.
The Poisson model projects 2.28 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 40% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence.
Poisson assigns a 45% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral: Valour 40% | HFX Wanderers FC 70%.
The Poisson model is drawing on Blended data (31 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Valour and HFX Wanderers FC finished level at 0-0 at IG Field, Regular Season - 3, in the Canadian Premier 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 Valour 1.35 xG and HFX Wanderers FC 0.93 xG, a combined 2.28. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Valour fell 1.4 short of their projected output. HFX Wanderers FC landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Valour attack 0.99 / defence 0.99 against HFX Wanderers FC attack 0.82 / defence 0.88, drawn from 31/32 games (Blended).
On the result, the model split it Valour 47% | Draw 28% | HFX Wanderers FC 26%, with Valour to win its most likely call at 47%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 40%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 66% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Valour 50%, HFX Wanderers FC 43%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Valour's trading profile (28 games, 14 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

Valour (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.43 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 0.86 average — tighter than their form line. HFX Wanderers FC (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.50 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
