📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Nantes beat Paris FC 1-2 at Stade Jean Bouin, Regular Season - 9, 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 1.31 xG and Nantes 1.23 xG, a combined 2.54. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Paris FC attack 0.96 / defence 1.24 against Nantes attack 0.78 / defence 0.79, drawn from 8/42 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Paris FC 38% | Draw 27% | Nantes 35%, with Paris FC to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Nantes win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

Historically the two sides average 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Paris FC 50%, Nantes 40%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
