Fixture Analysis
Grenoble welcome Auxerre to Stade des Alpes in Ligue 2 (matchday 21). Kick-off is Tuesday 23 January 2024 at 19:45 UK time.
Form Guide
Grenoble — last 10 games: 4W 3D 3L, averaging 1.50 points per game. Last five: D L W W D. Offensively they are averaging 1.60 goals per game, with 1.50 conceded. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Grenoble's home record over their last 10 home games: 5W 4D 1L (1.90 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.40 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 5 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (50%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home.
Looking at their last 10 matches, Auxerre stand at 6W 2D 2L — 2.00 PPG. Last five: W W W W W. Their attacking form is sharp — 2.00 goals per game is a high-output rate that commands respect in the goals markets. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
On the road, Auxerre have gone 6W 3D 1L in their last 10 away fixtures (2.10 PPG). They are averaging 2.10 goals per away game — strong road scoring that makes them a threat even without home support. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
Despite the home advantage, the form figures favour Auxerre — 0.50 PPG ahead of the hosts (2.00 vs 1.50). That gap is large enough to take seriously. Draw No Bet on the visitors neutralises home-ground risk while maintaining the form-backed selection.
Head to Head
There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 3 H2H matches, Grenoble have won 0, Auxerre 2, with 1 draw — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.
The 3 H2H matches in our data have been tight, averaging just 1.3 goals per game — a meaningful input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent of those, on 26 Aug 2023, ended Grenoble 0–0 Auxerre — a draw.
With a balanced win record and just 1.3 goals per game, the H2H data points toward a tight, low-scoring contest — Under 2.5 is the stronger head-to-head angle regardless of which side wins.
In-Play Profile
Grenoble in-play tendencies (last 58 games, 29 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 52% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 63% of the time; of the 14 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 29%; of the 10 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 30%; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 34% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 41% of the time; they fail to score in 43% of games.
Auxerre in-play tendencies (last 58 games, 29 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 76% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 73% of the time; of the 16 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 25%; of the 16 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 31%; BTTS occurs in 66% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 59% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Grenoble 33% versus Auxerre 60%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Grenoble 36% | Auxerre 53%). There is an in-play dynamic worth noting: Grenoble surrender their half-time lead 29% of the time, while Auxerre have come from behind at the break to draw or win in 31% of cases — a combination that makes laying the hosts at HT a potential angle. Note also that Auxerre surrender HT leads in 25% of cases while Grenoble recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 30% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Grenoble 1.28 xG and Auxerre 1.50 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: Grenoble attack 1.039 / defence 1.083 | Auxerre attack 1.226 / defence 1.014. League average goals — home 1.214 / away 1.134. Auxerre have an above-average attack rating of 1.226, which lifts their away xG to 1.50. Data: built from Grenoble's last 58 games and Auxerre's last 20.
Result probabilities: Grenoble 32% | Draw 25% | Auxerre 43%. Fair-value odds: Grenoble 3.10 | Draw 3.97 | Auxerre 2.35. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 25% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS Yes probability 56% | Total xG 2.78. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.78 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 56% is only a slight lean — 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 Auxerre at 43% — marginal model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 25% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Auxerre offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 2.78 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 53% — mixed conviction, supported by recent form (Grenoble's last 10 home games and Auxerre's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game — though the H2H data averaging only 1.3 goals per game across 3 H2H matches points the other way.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 56% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Grenoble 40% (last 10 home games) | Auxerre 80% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
The points were shared at Stade des Alpes, Regular Season - 21, as Grenoble and Auxerre drew 1-1 in the Ligue 2. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Grenoble 1.28 xG and Auxerre 1.50 xG, a combined 2.78. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Grenoble attack 1.04 / defence 1.08 against Auxerre attack 1.23 / defence 1.01, drawn from 58/20 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Grenoble 32% | Draw 25% | Auxerre 43%, with Auxerre to win its most likely call at 43%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 25% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 53%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 77% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Grenoble 36%, Auxerre 53%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Grenoble's trading profile (58 games, 29 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 33% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 41% of the time, and conceded here.
Auxerre's trading profile (58 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Grenoble 1.48 PPG, Auxerre 1.31 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (hit). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
