Full Analysis
Stade du Moustoir plays host to Lorient versus Strasbourg in Ligue 1 (matchday 31). Kick-off: Sunday 26 April 2026 at 15:00 UK time.
Form
Lorient (all games): 3W 4D 3L across their last 10 — 1.30 PPG. Last five: W L D L W. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.30 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%).
Lorient's home record over their last 10 home games: 6W 4D 0L (2.20 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.70 goals scored and 0.80 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.20 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.30 — Lorient are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.
Strasbourg's record over their last 10 games: 3W 4D 3L (1.30 PPG). Last five: D D W W L. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.40 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
Strasbourg's form when playing away from home: 2W 3D 5L across their last 10 road games (0.90 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 1.60 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 70% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.30 for Lorient, 1.30 for Strasbourg — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
The BTTS picture is exceptionally clear (from Lorient's last 10 home games and Strasbourg's last 10 away games) — both teams have scored in 70% of Lorient's games and 70% of Strasbourg's. Both sides above 70% makes BTTS Yes one of the strongest standalone angles in this fixture.
Head-to-Head
Neither side has dominated the 7 H2H matches in our data: 2 wins for Lorient, 2 for Strasbourg and 3 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral.
The 7 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.3 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 14 Dec 2025, ended Lorient 0–0 Strasbourg — a draw.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
Trading Data
Lorient goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 63 games, 31 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 81% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 79% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 58% of those occasions; of the 15 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 40%; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 64% of games (home games).
Strasbourg goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 63 games, 31 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 68% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 68% of the time; of the 23 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 35%; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 46%; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 55% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 36%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Lorient 52% versus Strasbourg 62%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Lorient 51% | Strasbourg 60%). Note also that Strasbourg surrender HT leads in 35% of cases while Lorient recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 40% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Lorient 1.63 xG and Strasbourg 1.37 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Lorient attack 1.055 / defence 0.944 | Strasbourg attack 1.143 / defence 1.054. League average goals — home 1.464 / away 1.268. Data: built from Lorient's last 30 games and Strasbourg's last 63.
Result probabilities: Lorient 42% | Draw 27% | Strasbourg 31%. Fair-value odds: Lorient 2.37 | Draw 3.72 | Strasbourg 3.24. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 27% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 58% | BTTS Yes probability 61% | Total xG 3.00. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 58% — the 3.00 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% — both xG figures (1.63 / 1.37) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Lorient at 42% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Lorient if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 31% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.00 combined xG gives a 58% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Lorient's last 10 home games and Strasbourg's last 10 away games) averaging 2.7 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Lorient 70% (last 10 home games) | Strasbourg 70% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Strasbourg beat Lorient 2-3 at Stade du Moustoir, Regular Season - 31, 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 Lorient 1.63 xG and Strasbourg 1.37 xG, a combined 3.00. The scoreboard read 2-3 for 5 actual goals. Strasbourg outscored their 1.37 projection by 1.6. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lorient attack 1.05 / defence 0.94 against Strasbourg attack 1.14 / defence 1.05, drawn from 30/63 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Lorient 42% | Draw 27% | Strasbourg 31%, with Lorient to win its most likely call at 42%. The actual Strasbourg win had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 58%. The game delivered 5, so it went over — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 81% and landed. Over 3.5 was 35% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lorient 51%, Strasbourg 60%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 57%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Lorient's trading profile (63 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did.
Strasbourg's trading profile (63 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and conceded here.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Lorient 1.73 PPG, Strasbourg 1.59 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Strasbourg win broke the near-deadlock. Lorient (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.03 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Strasbourg (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.45 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). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
