✍️ Match Preview
Fixture Analysis
It is a La Liga clash, Regular Season - 32 as Girona welcome Cadiz to Estadi Municipal de Montilivi. Kick-off is set for Saturday 20 April 2024 at 20:00 UTC.
Form Analysis
Looking at all fixtures this season, Girona stand at 4W 1D 5L from 10 La Liga matches — 1.30 PPG. Last five: L W L W L. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.40 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.
Girona's form when playing at home: 8W 2D 0L across 10 games at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi this term (2.60 PPG). They are averaging 2.40 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. 5 clean sheets from 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi. Their home PPG of 2.60 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.30 — Girona are significantly better at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi than their overall form suggests.
Cadiz — All Games: 2W 4D 4L from 10 La Liga fixtures this season — 1.00 PPG. Last five: D W L W L. Their scoring rate of 0.60 per game is modest, conceding 1.00 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. Both teams have scored in only 20% of their fixtures — a very low rate that strongly backs BTTS No.
Cadiz away from home this season: 0W 5D 5L from 10 away games — 0.50 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.40 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.50 is notably below their overall 1.00 — form away from home has been a clear weakness this season.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Girona 1.30 PPG, Cadiz 1.00 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
H2H
The rivalry is an even one: 1 wins apiece for Girona, 1 for Cadiz and 1 shared spoils from 3 past contests. Neither side holds a meaningful historical edge.
The last 3 meetings have been tight affairs, averaging just 1.7 goals per game. That low-scoring pattern is a meaningful historical input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent clash, on 7 Oct 2023, ended 1–0 with Girona winning.
With a balanced win record and just 1.7 goals per game historically, the H2H points toward a tight, low-scoring contest. Under 2.5 goals has the strongest statistical grounding from the fixture history regardless of which side wins.
In-Play Data
Girona trading profile (69 games, 34 at home): they score before half-time in 62% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 65% of games (home games).
Cadiz trading profile (69 games, 34 at away): they score before half-time in 53% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 21% of games (away games); they fail to score in 48% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Girona 64% versus Cadiz 36%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Girona 59% | Cadiz 26%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Girona 2.22 xG and Cadiz 0.69 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: Girona attack 1.539 / defence 0.959 | Cadiz attack 0.656 / defence 1.072. League average goals — home 1.345 / away 1.090. Girona carry an above-average attack strength of 1.539 — their λ of 2.22 reflects genuine attacking quality above the league norm. Data: 69 Girona games / 69 Cadiz games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Girona 72% | Draw 18% | Cadiz 10%. Fair-value odds: Girona 1.39 | Draw 5.56 | Cadiz 10.00. The model has a clear lean to Girona (72%) — a 62pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS probability 44% | Total xG 2.90. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.90 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS probability of 44% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Girona at 72% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 18% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 2.90 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 55% — Poisson-only — limited corroboration confidence — though H2H averaging only 1.7 goals per meeting points in the other direction.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 44% on No. Form rates corroborate: Girona 50% | Cadiz 40% BTTS from recent games.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Girona beat Cadiz 4-1 at Estadi Municipal de Montilivi, Regular Season - 32, in the La Liga. 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 Girona 2.22 xG and Cadiz 0.69 xG, a combined 2.90. The scoreboard read 4-1 for 5 actual goals. Girona beat their projection by 1.8 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Girona attack 1.54 / defence 0.96 against Cadiz attack 0.66 / defence 1.07, drawn from 69/69 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Girona 72% | Draw 18% | Cadiz 10%, with Girona to win its most likely call at 72%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 79% and landed. Over 3.5 was 33% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 44% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Girona 59%, Cadiz 26%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Girona's trading profile (69 games, 34 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 64% of their matches — today it did.
Cadiz's trading profile (69 games, 34 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 36% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
On form, Girona arrived the stronger side — 1.65 PPG against 0.97. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Girona (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 2.15 average — above their attacking norm. Cadiz (home/away splits) shipped 4 against a 1.56 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
