📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lyon beat Lille 1-0 at Parc Olympique Lyonnais, Regular Season - 20, 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 Lyon 2.00 xG and Lille 1.22 xG, a combined 3.21. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Lyon fell 1.0 short of their projected output. Lille landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lyon attack 1.13 / defence 0.84 against Lille attack 1.13 / defence 1.16, drawn from 53/53 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lyon 55% | Draw 22% | Lille 23%, with Lyon to win its most likely call at 55%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 62%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 83% and missed. Over 3.5 was 40% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lyon 62%, Lille 49%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Lyon's trading profile (53 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and duly kept one.

Lille's trading profile (53 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Lyon 1.75 PPG, Lille 1.74 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Lyon win broke the near-deadlock. Lyon (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.04 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.08 average — tighter than their form line. Lille (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.46 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). 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.
