📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Rennes beat Strasbourg 1-0 at Roazhon Park, Regular Season - 20, 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 1.76 xG and Strasbourg 1.38 xG, a combined 3.14. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Strasbourg landed 1.4 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Rennes attack 1.07 / defence 0.96 against Strasbourg attack 1.10 / defence 1.09, drawn from 53/53 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Rennes 44% | Draw 28% | Strasbourg 28%, with Rennes to win its most likely call at 44%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 61%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 84% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 64% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 60% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Rennes 58%, Strasbourg 62%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 65%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Rennes's trading profile (53 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did not.

Strasbourg's trading profile (53 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 70% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Rennes 1.19 PPG, Strasbourg 1.25 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Rennes win broke the near-deadlock. Rennes (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 1.93 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.30 average — tighter than their form line. Strasbourg (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.22 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
