📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Amiens and Laval finished level at 0-0 at Stade de la Licorne, Regular Season - 20, in the Ligue 2. 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 Amiens 1.34 xG and Laval 1.20 xG, a combined 2.54. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Amiens fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Laval landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Amiens attack 0.87 / defence 1.19 against Laval attack 0.85 / defence 1.23, drawn from 53/53 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Amiens 40% | Draw 27% | Laval 33%, with Amiens to win its most likely call at 40%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 47%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 72% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 52% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Amiens 55%, Laval 40%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Amiens's trading profile (53 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 30% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Laval's trading profile (53 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 36% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Amiens 1.15 PPG, Laval 1.23 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Amiens (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.31 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.27 average — tighter than their form line. Laval (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.08 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.23 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
