📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Bastia beat Clermont Foot 1-0 at Stade Armand Cesari, Regular Season - 13, in the Ligue 2. 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 Bastia 1.32 xG and Clermont Foot 1.16 xG, a combined 2.48. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Clermont Foot landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bastia attack 0.93 / defence 1.11 against Clermont Foot attack 0.86 / defence 1.09, drawn from 45/46 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Bastia 40% | Draw 27% | Clermont Foot 33%, with Bastia to win its most likely call at 40%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 45%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. 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 36% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Bastia 33%, Clermont Foot 38%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Bastia's trading profile (45 games, 21 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one.

Clermont Foot's trading profile (45 games, 21 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 56% 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 — Bastia 1.16 PPG, Clermont Foot 1.02 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Bastia win broke the near-deadlock. Bastia (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line. Clermont Foot (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 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
