📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lille beat Marseille 1-0 at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Regular Season - 15, in the Ligue 1. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Lille 1.53 xG and Marseille 1.51 xG, a combined 3.04. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Marseille landed 1.5 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lille attack 1.23 / defence 0.90 against Marseille attack 1.41 / defence 0.76, drawn from 48/48 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lille 38% | Draw 24% | Marseille 38%, with Lille to win its most likely call at 38%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 58%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 81% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 58% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lille 48%, Marseille 69%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lille's trading profile (48 games, 24 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and duly kept one.

Marseille's trading profile (48 games, 24 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Lille 1.79 PPG, Marseille 1.96 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Lille win broke the near-deadlock. Lille (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 1.92 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line. Marseille (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.88 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
