How It Unfolded

Lille beat Paris FC 0-1 at Stade Jean Bouin, 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 Paris FC 1.20 xG and Lille 1.95 xG, a combined 3.15. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Paris FC fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Lille landed 0.9 under their projected return.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 61%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 83% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Paris FC 50%, Lille 47%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Paris FC's trading profile (64 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and conceded here.

Lille's trading profile (64 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 34% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Paris FC 1.67 PPG, Lille 1.78 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Lille win broke the near-deadlock. Paris FC (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.81 scoring average — below par going forward. Lille (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.23 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
