📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, Regular Season - 30, as Lille and Nice drew 0-0 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 1.84 xG and Nice 1.06 xG, a combined 2.90. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Lille fell 1.8 short of their projected output. Nice landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lille attack 1.03 / defence 0.91 against Nice attack 0.97 / defence 1.21, drawn from 63/63 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lille 55% | Draw 24% | Nice 21%, with Lille to win its most likely call at 55%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 24% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 79% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 52% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lille 48%, Nice 57%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lille's trading profile (63 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one.

Nice's trading profile (63 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 64% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Lille 1.79 PPG, Nice 1.40 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Lille (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.74 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.03 average — tighter than their form line. Nice (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.42 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.81 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
