✍️ Match Preview
Pre-Match Analysis
Arouca and Estoril meet at Estádio Municipal de Arouca in Primeira Liga, Regular Season - 1. This fixture gets under way on Saturday 7 August 2021 at 12:45 UTC.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Arouca 2.05 xG and Estoril 1.03 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: Arouca attack 0.850 / defence 1.150 | Estoril attack 0.850 / defence 1.150. League average goals — home 2.095 / away 1.050. Data: 0 Arouca games / 0 Estoril games used (PrevSeason). Note: current-season sample is too small — prior-season data is carrying the calculation. Model confidence is reduced; treat probabilities as directional rather than precise.
Result probabilities: Arouca 58% | Draw 27% | Estoril 15%. Fair-value odds: Arouca 1.72 | Draw 3.70 | Estoril 6.67. The model has a clear lean to Arouca (58%) — a 43pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 59% | BTTS probability 59% | Total xG 3.07. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 59% — the 3.07 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 59% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Picks & Verdict
On the Poisson output, Arouca are the pick at 58% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 27% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.07 combined xG gives a 59% probability to Over 2.5 — Poisson-only — limited corroboration.
The Poisson model is drawing on PrevSeason data (0 games minimum) — early-season projections carry additional uncertainty. Weight the live form and odds signals accordingly.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Estoril beat Arouca 0-2 at Estádio Municipal de Arouca, Regular Season - 1, in the Primeira Liga. 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 Arouca 2.05 xG and Estoril 1.03 xG, a combined 3.07. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Arouca fell 2.0 short of their projected output. Estoril outscored their 1.03 projection by 1.0. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Arouca attack 0.85 / defence 1.15 against Estoril attack 0.85 / defence 1.15, drawn from 0/0 games (PrevSeason).
On the result, the model split it Arouca 58% | Draw 27% | Estoril 15%, with Arouca to win its most likely call at 58%. Instead the game produced a Estoril win, an outcome the model had rated at just 15% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 59%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 84% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 59% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
