Recent Form
Across their last 10 games, HFX Wanderers FC have gone 5W 2D 3L — a 1.70 PPG return. Last five: L W L W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.10 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
At home, HFX Wanderers FC have gone 7W 0D 3L in their last 10 home games (2.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.90 goals scored and 1.10 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
Looking at their last 10 matches, Pacific FC stand at 3W 2D 5L — 1.10 PPG. Last five: W L L L W. Their scoring rate of 1.30 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
Pacific FC away from home: 3W 2D 5L from their last 10 away games — 1.10 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context.
HFX Wanderers FC are in the better shape of the two on recent form — 0.60 PPG ahead (1.70 vs 1.10). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.
The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Both teams have scored in 70% of HFX Wanderers FC's games and 60% of Pacific FC's (from HFX Wanderers FC's last 10 home games and Pacific FC's last 10 away games) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.
Trading Patterns
HFX Wanderers FC in-play and half-time data (last 56 games, 28 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 82% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; of the 15 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; of the 15 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 27%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 61% of games (home games); they fail to score in 30% of games.
Pacific FC in-play and half-time data (last 56 games, 28 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 61% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; of the 17 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 29%; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — HFX Wanderers FC 48% versus Pacific FC 50%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (HFX Wanderers FC 48% | Pacific FC 45%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects HFX Wanderers FC 1.87 xG and Pacific FC 1.40 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: HFX Wanderers FC attack 1.286 / defence 0.929 | Pacific FC attack 1.147 / defence 1.148. League average goals — home 1.267 / away 1.312. HFX Wanderers FC carry an above-average attack rating of 1.286 — their 1.87 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from HFX Wanderers FC's last 56 games and Pacific FC's last 56.
Result probabilities: HFX Wanderers FC 49% | Draw 22% | Pacific FC 29%. Fair-value odds: HFX Wanderers FC 2.05 | Draw 4.44 | Pacific FC 3.47. HFX Wanderers FC hold a narrow Poisson edge at 49% — the draw (22%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 63% | BTTS Yes probability 64% | Total xG 3.27. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 63% — the 3.27 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 64% — both xG figures (1.87 / 1.40) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is HFX Wanderers FC at 49% — moderate model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 22% draw probability, Draw No Bet on HFX Wanderers FC offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.27 combined xG gives a 63% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (HFX Wanderers FC's last 10 home games and Pacific FC's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 64% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: HFX Wanderers FC 70% (last 10 home games) | Pacific FC 60% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Pacific FC beat HFX Wanderers FC 0-1 at Wanderers Grounds, Qualification Final, 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 HFX Wanderers FC 1.87 xG and Pacific FC 1.40 xG, a combined 3.27. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. HFX Wanderers FC fell 1.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of HFX Wanderers FC attack 1.29 / defence 0.93 against Pacific FC attack 1.15 / defence 1.15, drawn from 56/56 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it HFX Wanderers FC 49% | Draw 22% | Pacific FC 29%, with HFX Wanderers FC to win its most likely call at 49%. The actual Pacific FC win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 63%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 84% and missed. Over 3.5 was 41% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 64% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 46% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (HFX Wanderers FC 48%, Pacific FC 45%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
HFX Wanderers FC's trading profile (56 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 30% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Pacific FC's trading profile (56 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — HFX Wanderers FC 1.27 PPG, Pacific FC 1.45 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Pacific FC win broke the near-deadlock. HFX Wanderers FC (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.36 scoring average — below par going forward. Pacific FC (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.29 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
