📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Clermont Foot beat Caen 0-1 at Stade Michel d'Ornano, Regular Season - 17, 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 1.60 xG and Clermont Foot 0.74 xG, a combined 2.35. 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 1.03 / defence 1.10 against Clermont Foot attack 0.69 / defence 1.11, drawn from 54/16 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Caen 58% | Draw 25% | Clermont Foot 17%, with Caen to win its most likely call at 58%. Instead the game produced a Clermont Foot win, an outcome the model had rated at just 17% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 42%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 68% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 42% 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%, Clermont Foot 44%), 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 (50 games, 24 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 26% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Clermont Foot's trading profile (50 games, 24 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Caen 1.22 PPG, Clermont Foot 0.84 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Clermont Foot win broke the near-deadlock. Caen (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.21 scoring average — below par going forward. Clermont Foot (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.75 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.
