📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Rennes beat Lyon 3-1 at Roazhon Park, Regular Season - 4, in the Ligue 1. The remainder of the report sets that outcome against the pre-match model, the markets and the teams' data profiles.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Rennes 1.28 xG and Lyon 1.10 xG, a combined 2.38. The scoreboard read 3-1 for 4 actual goals. Rennes beat their projection by 1.7 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Rennes attack 0.92 / defence 0.86 against Lyon attack 1.04 / defence 0.85, drawn from 37/37 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Rennes 41% | Draw 28% | Lyon 32%, with Rennes to win its most likely call at 41%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 43%. The game delivered 4, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 69% and landed. Over 3.5 was 22% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 60% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Rennes 57%, Lyon 62%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Rennes's trading profile (37 games, 18 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here.

Lyon's trading profile (37 games, 18 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Lyon arrived the stronger side — 1.78 PPG against 1.22. Form was overturned, with Rennes winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Rennes (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.44 average — above their attacking norm. Lyon (home/away splits) shipped 3 against a 1.39 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
