Fixture Analysis
Estac Troyes welcome PAU to Stade de l'Aube in Ligue 2 (matchday 24). Kick-off is Saturday 21 February 2026 at 13:00 UK time.
Form Analysis
Looking at their last 10 matches, Estac Troyes stand at 4W 2D 4L — 1.40 PPG. Last five: W L L L D. They are averaging 1.00 goals per game and conceding 1.10 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).
In front of their own supporters, Estac Troyes have posted 7W 1D 2L from their last 10 home games — 2.20 PPG. They are averaging 2.10 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture. Their home PPG of 2.20 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.40 — Estac Troyes are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.
Across their last 10 games, PAU have recorded 3W 3D 4L — 1.20 PPG. Last five: L D W W L. They are scoring at 1.60 per game and conceding 1.60. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
PAU's form when playing away from home: 5W 3D 2L across their last 10 road games (1.80 PPG). Away from home they average 1.60 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. 4 clean sheets from their last 10 away games (40%) shows they are capable of shutting up shop on the road. Their away PPG of 1.80 exceeds their overall 1.20 — they actually perform better on the road than their aggregate form implies.
The form comparison is too close to call — 1.40 PPG (Estac Troyes) versus 1.20 (PAU). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.
H2H
There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 5 H2H matches, Estac Troyes have won 2, PAU 0, with 3 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.
The 5 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.6 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 3 Nov 2025, ended Estac Troyes 1–1 PAU — a draw.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
Trading Patterns
Estac Troyes in-play and half-time data (last 57 games, 28 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 68% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 65% of the time; BTTS occurs in 32% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 50% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time; they fail to score in 37% of games.
PAU in-play and half-time data (last 57 games, 28 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 71% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 88% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; of the 15 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; of the 18 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 28%; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 61% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 35%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Estac Troyes 35% versus PAU 54%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Estac Troyes 47% | PAU 54%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Estac Troyes 1.45 xG and PAU 1.26 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Estac Troyes attack 1.167 / defence 0.950 | PAU attack 1.117 / defence 1.081. League average goals — home 1.146 / away 1.192. Data: built from Estac Troyes's last 57 games and PAU's last 57.
Result probabilities: Estac Troyes 41% | Draw 26% | PAU 33%. Fair-value odds: Estac Troyes 2.42 | Draw 3.90 | PAU 3.03. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome reaches 45%. The draw at 26% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 51% | BTTS Yes probability 55% | Total xG 2.71. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 51%/49% — the total xG of 2.71 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 55% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Our Verdict
Poisson rates Estac Troyes as the most likely outcome at 41% — marginal model lean. With a 26% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Estac Troyes offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win. The opposing side holds a 33% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 2.71 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 51% — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Estac Troyes's last 10 home games and PAU's last 10 away games) averaging 3.2 goals per game.
On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 55% on Yes. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Estac Troyes 60% (last 10 home games) | PAU 50% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Estac Troyes beat PAU 4-3 at Stade de l'Aube, Regular Season - 24, 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 Estac Troyes 1.45 xG and PAU 1.26 xG, a combined 2.71. The scoreboard read 4-3 for 7 actual goals. Estac Troyes beat their projection by 2.6 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. PAU outscored their 1.26 projection by 1.7. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Estac Troyes attack 1.17 / defence 0.95 against PAU attack 1.12 / defence 1.08, drawn from 57/57 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Estac Troyes 41% | Draw 26% | PAU 33%, with Estac Troyes to win its most likely call at 41%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 51%. The game delivered 7, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 75% and landed. Over 3.5 was 29% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 55% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 51% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Estac Troyes 47%, PAU 54%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Estac Troyes's trading profile (57 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 35% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and conceded here.
PAU's trading profile (57 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Estac Troyes 1.51 PPG, PAU 1.33 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Estac Troyes win broke the near-deadlock. Estac Troyes (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 1.50 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 3 against a 0.86 concession average — a leakier day than usual. PAU (home/away splits) scored 3 against a 1.29 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 4 against a 1.79 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
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.
