📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Marseille beat Paris Saint Germain 1-0 at Orange Vélodrome, Regular Season - 5, 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 Marseille 2.54 xG and Paris Saint Germain 2.00 xG, a combined 4.54. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Marseille fell 1.5 short of their projected output. Paris Saint Germain landed 2.0 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Marseille attack 1.55 / defence 1.01 against Paris Saint Germain attack 1.62 / defence 0.95, drawn from 38/38 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Marseille 50% | Draw 19% | Paris Saint Germain 31%, with Marseille to win its most likely call at 50%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 83%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 94% and missed. Over 3.5 was 67% and did not.

Historically the two sides average 67% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Marseille 66%, Paris Saint Germain 68%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 68%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
