📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Caen beat Clermont Foot 0-1 at Stade Gabriel-Montpied, Regular Season - 25, 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 Clermont Foot 1.30 xG and Caen 0.93 xG, a combined 2.22. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Clermont Foot fell 1.3 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Clermont Foot attack 0.82 / defence 1.08 against Caen attack 0.81 / defence 1.30, drawn from 24/62 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Clermont Foot 45% | Draw 28% | Caen 27%, with Clermont Foot to win its most likely call at 45%. The actual Caen win had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 38%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 65% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 44% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 47% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Clermont Foot 43%, Caen 50%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Clermont Foot's trading profile (58 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 45% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Caen's trading profile (58 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Clermont Foot 0.86 PPG, Caen 1.07 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Caen win broke the near-deadlock. Clermont Foot (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.89 scoring average — below par going forward. Caen (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.89 average — tighter than their form line.
