📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Paris Saint Germain beat Strasbourg 1-2 at Stade de la Meinau, 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 Strasbourg 1.27 xG and Paris Saint Germain 1.21 xG, a combined 2.48. 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 Strasbourg attack 1.03 / defence 0.81 against Paris Saint Germain attack 1.18 / defence 0.83, drawn from 53/53 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Strasbourg 38% | Draw 27% | Paris Saint Germain 35%, with Strasbourg to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Paris Saint Germain 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

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 45%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 71% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 61% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Strasbourg 58%, Paris Saint Germain 64%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 62%, which matched the both-scored outcome.

Strasbourg's trading profile (53 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 60% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here.
