📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Bastia and Nancy finished level at 0-0 at Stade Armand Cesari, Regular Season - 21, 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 1.16 xG and Nancy 1.20 xG, a combined 2.36. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Bastia fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Nancy landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Bastia attack 0.76 / defence 1.14 against Nancy attack 0.89 / defence 1.24, drawn from 53/20 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Bastia 35% | Draw 28% | Nancy 37%, with Nancy to win its most likely call at 37%. 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 42%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 68% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 48% 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 (Bastia 25%, Nancy 50%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 35%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Bastia's trading profile (20 games, 10 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 30% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 55% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Nancy's trading profile (20 games, 10 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 40% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 45% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Bastia 0.85 PPG, Nancy 1.05 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Bastia (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.90 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.50 average — tighter than their form line. Nancy (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.10 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.60 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
