📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Rennes beat Nice 2-0 at Roazhon Park, Regular Season - 33, 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 1.23 xG and Nice 1.70 xG, a combined 2.92. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Nice landed 1.7 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Rennes attack 0.87 / defence 0.96 against Nice attack 1.26 / defence 0.97, drawn from 66/66 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Rennes 28% | Draw 24% | Nice 48%, with Nice to win its most likely call at 48%. The actual Rennes win had been the model's second-ranked read at 28%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 56%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 79% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 58% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 53% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Rennes 58%, Nice 48%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 56%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Rennes's trading profile (66 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not.

Nice's trading profile (66 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Nice arrived the stronger side — 1.70 PPG against 1.27. Form was overturned, with Rennes winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Rennes (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.30 average — tighter than their form line. Nice (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.42 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), 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.
