📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Amiens beat Grenoble 0-2 at Stade des Alpes, Regular Season - 15, 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 Grenoble 1.61 xG and Amiens 0.83 xG, a combined 2.44. The scoreboard read 0-2 for 2 actual goals. Grenoble fell 1.6 short of their projected output. Amiens outscored their 0.83 projection by 1.2. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Grenoble attack 0.96 / defence 0.84 against Amiens attack 1.01 / defence 1.23, drawn from 52/52 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Grenoble 56% | Draw 25% | Amiens 19%, with Grenoble to win its most likely call at 56%. Instead the game produced a Amiens win, an outcome the model had rated at just 19% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 44%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 70% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 45% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 41% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Grenoble 46%, Amiens 36%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 43%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Grenoble's trading profile (52 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 44% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 38% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Amiens's trading profile (52 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 42% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 40% of the time, and duly kept one.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Grenoble 1.33 PPG, Amiens 1.40 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Amiens win broke the near-deadlock. Grenoble (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.31 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 0.96 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Amiens (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.96 average — above their attacking norm and conceded 0 against a 1.35 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit). Partial vindication: some calls landed, others slipped.
