📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lille beat Marseille 1-2 at Orange Vélodrome, Regular Season - 27, 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 Marseille 1.70 xG and Lille 1.16 xG, a combined 2.85. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Lille outscored their 1.16 projection by 0.8. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Marseille attack 1.33 / defence 1.00 against Lille attack 0.97 / defence 0.90, drawn from 60/60 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Marseille 50% | Draw 24% | Lille 26%, with Marseille to win its most likely call at 50%. The actual Lille win had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 54%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 78% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Marseille 65%, Lille 45%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Marseille's trading profile (60 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did.

Lille's trading profile (60 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Marseille 1.90 PPG, Lille 1.73 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Lille win broke the near-deadlock. Marseille (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.47 scoring average — below par going forward.

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.
