📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Bastia beat Dunkerque 2-0 at Stade Armand-Césari, Regular Season - 28, in the Ligue 2. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Bastia 1.54 xG and Dunkerque 0.91 xG, a combined 2.44. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Dunkerque landed 0.9 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bastia attack 1.01 / defence 0.76 against Dunkerque attack 1.12 / defence 1.14, drawn from 65/65 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Bastia 52% | Draw 26% | Dunkerque 22%, with Bastia to win its most likely call at 52%. The scoreboard confirmed the model's leading pick.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 44%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 47% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 42% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Bastia 40%, Dunkerque 43%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Bastia's trading profile (65 games, 32 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 37% of the time, and duly kept one.

Dunkerque's trading profile (65 games, 32 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 29% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Bastia 1.35 PPG, Dunkerque 1.45 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Bastia win broke the near-deadlock. Bastia (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.97 average — tighter than their form line. Dunkerque (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.22 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). The data earned its keep here, calling the bulk of the fixture correctly.
