Analysis
Caen make the trip to Stade de Paris to face RED Star FC 93 in Ligue 2 (matchday 9). The match kicks off on Friday 18 October 2024 at 20:00 UK time.
Current Form
RED Star FC 93's record over their last 8 games: 2W 1D 5L (0.88 PPG). Last five: L L D L L. They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 2.00 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. However, 2.00 goals conceded per game is a concern — opposing attacks have exploited them regularly. 1 clean sheet from 8 outings (12%).
At home, RED Star FC 93 have gone 1W 0D 2L in their last 3 home games (1.00 PPG). At home they are averaging 0.67 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game.
Caen have collected 1.10 PPG across their last 10 games: 3W 2D 5L. Last five: L W W L L. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
When travelling, Caen have posted 2W 1D 7L from their last 10 away outings — 0.70 PPG. Away from home they average 1.10 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
Both sides are running at similar form levels — 0.88 PPG for RED Star FC 93 against 1.10 for Caen. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.
Trading Data
RED Star FC 93 goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 8 games, 3 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 88% of their matches; BTTS occurs in 50% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games; they fail to score in 38% of games.
Caen goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 8 games, 3 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 100% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 67% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 62% of their matches; Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — RED Star FC 93 50% versus Caen 62%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (RED Star FC 93 62% | Caen 50%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects RED Star FC 93 1.25 xG and Caen 1.46 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: RED Star FC 93 attack 0.728 / defence 1.414 | Caen attack 0.921 / defence 1.184. League average goals — home 1.446 / away 1.117. RED Star FC 93's attack rating of 0.728 is below the league average, which holds their xG down at 1.25. RED Star FC 93's defence rating of 1.414 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Caen's projected output up. Data: built from RED Star FC 93's last 8 games and Caen's last 46.
Result probabilities: RED Star FC 93 32% | Draw 26% | Caen 42%. Fair-value odds: RED Star FC 93 3.09 | Draw 3.90 | Caen 2.38. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 26% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 51% | BTTS Yes probability 55% | Total xG 2.70. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 51%/49% — the total xG of 2.70 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 55% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates Caen as the most likely outcome at 42% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 26% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Caen if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 32% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
Poisson projects 2.70 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 51% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (RED Star FC 93's last 3 home games and Caen's last 10 away games) averaging 2.8 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 55% on Yes. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: RED Star FC 93 33% (last 3 home games) | Caen 70% (last 10 away games).

The Model vs The Result
