📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Montpellier and Reims finished level at 0-0 at Stade de la Mosson-Mondial 98, 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 Montpellier 0.90 xG and Reims 1.56 xG, a combined 2.45. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Montpellier fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Reims landed 1.6 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Montpellier attack 0.67 / defence 1.45 against Reims attack 0.75 / defence 0.90, drawn from 64/64 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Montpellier 22% | Draw 26% | Reims 53%, with Reims to win its most likely call at 53%. The actual draw 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 44%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 70% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 47% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 53% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Montpellier 55%, Reims 52%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Montpellier's trading profile (64 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 42% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Reims's trading profile (64 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 28% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Montpellier 0.89 PPG, Reims 1.23 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Montpellier (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.10 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.87 average — tighter than their form line. Reims (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.23 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.55 average — tighter than their form line.

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.
