📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Lorient beat Estac Troyes 0-1 at Stade de l'Aube, Regular Season - 23, 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 Estac Troyes 1.36 xG and Lorient 0.80 xG, a combined 2.16. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Estac Troyes fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Estac Troyes attack 1.04 / defence 0.87 against Lorient attack 0.89 / defence 1.02, drawn from 60/22 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Estac Troyes 50% | Draw 28% | Lorient 22%, with Estac Troyes to win its most likely call at 50%. Instead the game produced a Lorient win, an outcome the model had rated at just 22% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 37%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 64% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 41% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 55% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Estac Troyes 52%, Lorient 59%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 48%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Estac Troyes's trading profile (56 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 39% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Lorient's trading profile (56 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Estac Troyes 1.14 PPG, Lorient 1.34 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Lorient win broke the near-deadlock. Estac Troyes (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.36 scoring average — below par going forward. Lorient (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.71 average — tighter than their form line.
