📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lille beat Lens 1-0 at Decathlon Arena - Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Regular Season - 27, in the Ligue 1. 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 Lille 1.39 xG and Lens 1.11 xG, a combined 2.50. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Lens landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lille attack 1.07 / defence 0.85 against Lens attack 0.91 / defence 0.86, drawn from 60/60 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lille 43% | Draw 28% | Lens 29%, with Lille to win its most likely call at 43%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 46%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 72% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lille 48%, Lens 38%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lille's trading profile (60 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and duly kept one.

Lens's trading profile (60 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Lille 1.72 PPG, Lens 1.50 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Lille win broke the near-deadlock. Lille (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 1.93 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 0.97 average — tighter than their form line. Lens (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.17 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
