📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Rennes beat Montpellier 0-4 at Stade de la Mosson-Mondial 98, Regular Season - 24, 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 1.45 xG and Rennes 1.92 xG, a combined 3.37. The scoreboard read 0-4 for 4 actual goals. Montpellier fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Rennes outscored their 1.92 projection by 2.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Montpellier attack 0.88 / defence 1.46 against Rennes attack 0.96 / defence 1.03, drawn from 57/57 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Montpellier 28% | Draw 25% | Rennes 47%, with Rennes to win its most likely call at 47%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 65%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 86% and landed. Over 3.5 was 43% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 67% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Montpellier 58%, Rennes 54%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Montpellier's trading profile (57 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 37% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Rennes's trading profile (57 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Montpellier 1.00 PPG, Rennes 1.26 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Rennes win broke the near-deadlock. Montpellier (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.22 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 4 against a 1.74 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Rennes (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 1.07 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.52 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
