📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lille beat Lorient 1-7 at Stade du Moustoir, Regular Season - 3, 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 Lorient 1.99 xG and Lille 1.26 xG, a combined 3.25. The scoreboard read 1-7 for 8 actual goals. Lorient fell 1.0 short of their projected output. Lille outscored their 1.26 projection by 5.7. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lorient attack 1.17 / defence 0.95 against Lille attack 1.20 / defence 1.08, drawn from 2/36 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Lorient 54% | Draw 22% | Lille 24%, with Lorient to win its most likely call at 54%. Instead the game produced a Lille win, 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 63%. The game delivered 8, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 84% and landed. Over 3.5 was 41% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 62% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lorient 58%, Lille 50%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lorient's trading profile (36 games, 18 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 47% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 39% of the time, and conceded here.

Lille's trading profile (36 games, 18 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

Lorient (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.94 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 7 against a 0.67 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Lille (home/away splits) scored 7 against a 1.33 average — above their attacking norm.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
