📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Angers beat Nantes 0-1 at Stade de la Beaujoire, Regular Season - 25, 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 1.13 xG and Angers 0.94 xG, a combined 2.07. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Nantes fell 1.1 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Nantes attack 0.80 / defence 1.27 against Angers attack 0.61 / defence 0.95, drawn from 58/58 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Nantes 40% | Draw 30% | Angers 30%, with Nantes to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual Angers win had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 34%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 61% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 41% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 37% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Nantes 45%, Angers 29%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Nantes's trading profile (58 games, 29 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 59% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Angers's trading profile (58 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 36% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Nantes 0.91 PPG, Angers 1.12 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Angers win broke the near-deadlock. Nantes (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.07 scoring average — below par going forward. Angers (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.28 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). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
