📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Reims beat Clermont Foot 0-1 at Stade Gabriel Montpied, Regular Season - 21, 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 1.59 xG and Reims 1.31 xG, a combined 2.90. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Clermont Foot fell 1.6 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Clermont Foot attack 1.13 / defence 1.00 against Reims attack 1.10 / defence 1.14, drawn from 54/20 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Clermont Foot 44% | Draw 24% | Reims 31%, with Clermont Foot to win its most likely call at 44%. The actual Reims win had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 79% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 58% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Clermont Foot 39%, Reims 48%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 54%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Clermont Foot's trading profile (56 games, 27 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 36% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Reims's trading profile (56 games, 27 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Clermont Foot 1.04 PPG, Reims 1.23 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Reims win broke the near-deadlock. Clermont Foot (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.11 scoring average — below par going forward. Reims (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.33 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
