📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lille beat Monaco 1-0 at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Regular Season - 2, 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 Lille 1.73 xG and Monaco 1.09 xG, a combined 2.82. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Monaco landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lille attack 1.05 / defence 0.96 against Monaco attack 1.02 / defence 1.05, drawn from 35/35 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Lille 52% | Draw 24% | Monaco 24%, with Lille to win its most likely call at 52%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 54%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 77% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 55% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 59% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lille 51%, Monaco 66%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 61%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lille's trading profile (35 games, 17 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and duly kept one.

Monaco's trading profile (35 games, 17 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 63% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Lille 1.74 PPG, Monaco 1.83 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Lille win broke the near-deadlock. Lille (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 1.82 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.06 average — tighter than their form line. Monaco (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.47 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). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
