📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Toulouse beat Lens 0-1 at Stade Bollaert-Delelis, Regular Season - 16, in the Ligue 1. 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 Lens 1.26 xG and Toulouse 1.12 xG, a combined 2.38. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Lens fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lens attack 0.92 / defence 0.96 against Toulouse attack 0.90 / defence 0.90, drawn from 49/49 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lens 38% | Draw 31% | Toulouse 31%, with Lens to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Toulouse win had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 43%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 71% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 50% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lens 39%, Toulouse 55%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lens's trading profile (49 games, 24 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 43% of the time, and conceded here.

Toulouse's trading profile (49 games, 24 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Lens 1.53 PPG, Toulouse 1.31 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Toulouse win broke the near-deadlock. Lens (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.46 scoring average — below par going forward. Toulouse (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.29 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
