📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Angers beat Nantes 0-1 at Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau, Regular Season - 32, in the Ligue 1. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Nantes 1.18 xG and Angers 0.74 xG, a combined 1.92. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Nantes fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Nantes attack 0.78 / defence 0.75 against Angers attack 0.70 / defence 1.02, drawn from 65/31 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Nantes 46% | Draw 31% | Angers 23%, with Nantes to win its most likely call at 46%. Instead the game produced a Angers win, an outcome the model had rated at just 23% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 30%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 57% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 36% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Nantes 46%, Angers 40%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 49%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Nantes's trading profile (65 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 32% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Angers's trading profile (65 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

On form, Angers arrived the stronger side — 1.43 PPG against 1.00. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Nantes (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.03 scoring average — below par going forward. Angers (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.38 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
