📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Dunkerque beat Caen 0-2 at Stade Michel d'Ornano, Regular Season - 22, 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 Caen 0.91 xG and Dunkerque 1.22 xG, a combined 2.13. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Caen fell 0.9 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Caen attack 0.75 / defence 1.05 against Dunkerque attack 1.12 / defence 0.95, drawn from 59/59 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Caen 28% | Draw 29% | Dunkerque 43%, with Dunkerque to win its most likely call at 43%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 36%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 63% and landed. 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 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Caen 49%, Dunkerque 41%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Caen's trading profile (59 games, 29 home) 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.

Dunkerque's trading profile (59 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 46% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Caen 1.24 PPG, Dunkerque 1.39 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Dunkerque win broke the near-deadlock. Caen (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.14 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 0.86 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Dunkerque (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.17 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.28 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 3 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). A strong night for the model: the result sat comfortably inside what the pre-match data projected.
