📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Strasbourg beat Nantes 1-0 at Stade de la Meinau, Regular Season - 2, in the Ligue 1. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Strasbourg 1.91 xG and Nantes 1.22 xG, a combined 3.12. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Strasbourg fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Nantes landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Strasbourg attack 1.12 / defence 1.03 against Nantes attack 1.01 / defence 1.07, drawn from 35/35 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Strasbourg 54% | Draw 22% | Nantes 24%, with Strasbourg to win its most likely call at 54%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 60%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 82% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 60% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Strasbourg 57%, Nantes 43%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 63%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Strasbourg's trading profile (35 games, 17 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 63% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and duly kept one.

Nantes's trading profile (35 games, 17 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 63% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Strasbourg arrived the stronger side — 1.71 PPG against 1.03. The form guide was vindicated by the result. Strasbourg (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 1.94 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.18 average — tighter than their form line. Nantes (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.18 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 1 against a 2.00 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
