The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Amiens 0.86 xG and Montpellier 1.15 xG, a combined 2.01. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Amiens fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Montpellier outscored their 1.15 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Amiens attack 0.95 / defence 1.45 against Montpellier attack 0.68 / defence 0.75, drawn from 65/31 games (CurrentSeason).

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 33%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 62% and landed.

Historically the two sides average 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Amiens 54%, Montpellier 43%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Montpellier's trading profile (65 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

Montpellier (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.53 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.50 average — tighter than their form line.
