📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Toulouse beat Lorient 1-0 at Stadium de Toulouse, Regular Season - 27, in the Ligue 1. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Toulouse 1.40 xG and Lorient 1.09 xG, a combined 2.49. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Lorient landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Toulouse attack 0.89 / defence 0.98 against Lorient attack 0.94 / defence 1.09, drawn from 60/26 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Toulouse 44% | Draw 27% | Lorient 29%, with Toulouse to win its most likely call at 44%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 45%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 71% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 50% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 51% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Toulouse 48%, Lorient 53%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Toulouse's trading profile (60 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 50% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and duly kept one.

Lorient's trading profile (60 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Lorient arrived the stronger side — 1.80 PPG against 1.27. Form was overturned, with Toulouse winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Toulouse (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.30 average — tighter than their form line. Lorient (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (miss). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
