✍️ Match Preview
Analysis
Bordeaux make the trip to Stade Michel d'Ornano to face Caen in Ligue 2 (matchday 31). The match kicks off on Saturday 6 April 2024 at 19:00 UK time.
Form
Caen (all games): 5W 1D 4L across their last 10 — 1.60 PPG. Last five: W W L L W. They are averaging 1.30 goals per game and conceding 1.30 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).
Caen at home: 5W 3D 2L from their last 10 home games — 1.80 PPG on home soil. At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 0.60 conceded per game. 6 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home. At home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — reinforcing BTTS No as the home-venue-backed angle.
Bordeaux have collected 1.60 PPG across their last 10 games: 4W 4D 2L. Last five: W D D L D. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.20 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity. Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
Bordeaux's form when playing away from home: 2W 2D 6L across their last 10 road games (0.80 PPG). Away from home they average 1.30 goals scored and 2.00 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their away matches — a high BTTS rate on the road that directly informs this fixture. Their away PPG of 0.80 is notably below their overall 1.60 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.
Both sides are running at similar form levels — 1.60 PPG for Caen against 1.60 for Bordeaux. There is no clear form edge to exploit here; other signals need to take the lead.
H2H History
The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 3 H2H matches in our data, Bordeaux edge it 1 wins to 0, with 2 draws. Neither side has a commanding advantage. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.
The 3 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.3 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 3 Oct 2023, ended Caen 1–1 Bordeaux — a draw.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
Trading Data
Caen goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 67 games, 33 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 61% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 71% of the time; of the 18 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 28%; of the 22 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 41%; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (home games).
Bordeaux goal-timing and half-time pattern breakdown (last 67 games, 33 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 76% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 61% of the time; BTTS occurs in 48% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 48% of games (away games); they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Caen 57% versus Bordeaux 43%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Caen 52% | Bordeaux 43%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Caen 1.55 xG and Bordeaux 0.86 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Caen attack 0.986 / defence 0.745 | Bordeaux attack 0.991 / defence 1.352. League average goals — home 1.166 / away 1.172. Bordeaux's defence rating of 1.352 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing Caen's projected output up. Caen have a tight defence (rating 0.745), which is pulling Bordeaux's projected output down. Data: built from Caen's last 68 games and Bordeaux's last 67.
Result probabilities: Caen 53% | Draw 27% | Bordeaux 20%. Fair-value odds: Caen 1.89 | Draw 3.72 | Bordeaux 4.94. Caen hold a narrow Poisson edge at 53% — the draw (27%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 44% | BTTS Yes probability 46% | Total xG 2.42. Under 2.5 has a narrow probability edge at 56% — total xG of 2.42 is below the line but not decisively so. BTTS No at 54% is only a slight lean — the model gives both sides a fair chance of scoring, so No isn't a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates Caen as the most likely outcome at 53% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 27% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Caen if the outright odds are short.
The Poisson model projects 2.42 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 56% — a Poisson-only call with no corroboration from form or H2H.
Poisson assigns a 54% probability to BTTS No based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Caen 20% (last 10 home games) | Bordeaux 80% (last 10 away games).

📈 Form Insight
The Form Picture
Caen come into this having played 67 games, going 28W 17D 22L for 1.51 points per game. Their last five reads W-W-L-L-W.
On the other side, Bordeaux sit at 1.61 PPG from 67 outings (30W 18D 19L), a run that reads W-D-D-L-D across their last five.
There isn't much between them on recent form — 1.51 PPG for Caen against 1.61 for Bordeaux. Neither side arrives with a clear form advantage.

Away from home, Bordeaux have taken 1.18 points per game from their last 33 away games (10W 9D 14L). That's a step down from their 1.61 PPG overall record — away form has been the weaker part of Bordeaux's recent record.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Bordeaux beat Caen 0-1 at Stade Michel d'Ornano, Regular Season - 31, 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 Caen 1.55 xG and Bordeaux 0.86 xG, a combined 2.42. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Caen fell 1.6 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Caen attack 0.99 / defence 0.74 against Bordeaux attack 0.99 / defence 1.35, drawn from 68/67 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Caen 53% | Draw 27% | Bordeaux 20%, with Caen to win its most likely call at 53%. Instead the game produced a Bordeaux win, an outcome the model had rated at just 20% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 44%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 70% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 46% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Caen 52%, Bordeaux 43%), 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
Caen's trading profile (67 games, 33 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 25% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Bordeaux's trading profile (67 games, 33 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and duly kept one.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Caen 1.51 PPG, Bordeaux 1.61 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Bordeaux win broke the near-deadlock. Caen (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.55 scoring average — below par going forward. Bordeaux (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.33 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). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
