📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Dunkerque beat Estac Troyes 2-0 at Stade Marcel Tribut, Regular Season - 4, 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 Dunkerque 1.20 xG and Estac Troyes 1.26 xG, a combined 2.47. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Estac Troyes landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Dunkerque attack 1.06 / defence 1.24 against Estac Troyes attack 0.89 / defence 0.83, drawn from 37/37 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Dunkerque 35% | Draw 27% | Estac Troyes 38%, with Estac Troyes to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Dunkerque win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 45%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 71% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 50% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 43% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Dunkerque 40%, Estac Troyes 46%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 36%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Dunkerque's trading profile (37 games, 18 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and duly kept one.

Estac Troyes's trading profile (37 games, 18 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 24% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 46% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 43% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Dunkerque 1.65 PPG, Estac Troyes 1.38 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Dunkerque win broke the near-deadlock. Dunkerque (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 0.94 average — tighter than their form line. Estac Troyes (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.17 concession average — a leakier day than usual.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
