The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Ajaccio 1.36 xG and Bastia 0.85 xG, a combined 2.21. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Ajaccio fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Bastia landed 0.8 under their projected return.

On the result, the model split it Ajaccio 49% | Draw 28% | Bastia 23%, with Ajaccio to win its most likely call at 49%. The actual draw 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 38%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 65% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 42% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 38% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Ajaccio 33%, Bastia 43%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 41%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Ajaccio's trading profile (51 games, 25 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 35% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 31% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 41% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Bastia (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.12 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.32 average — tighter than their form line.
