📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Stade des Alpes, Regular Season - 8, as Grenoble and Bastia drew 0-0 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 1.25 xG and Bastia 0.72 xG, a combined 1.96. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Grenoble fell 1.2 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Grenoble attack 0.95 / defence 1.09 against Bastia attack 0.53 / defence 1.03, drawn from 41/41 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Grenoble 49% | Draw 30% | Bastia 21%, with Grenoble to win its most likely call at 49%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 30%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 31%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 58% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 36% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 45% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Grenoble 54%, Bastia 37%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 51%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Grenoble's trading profile (41 games, 20 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 32% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Bastia's trading profile (41 games, 20 away) 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; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Grenoble 1.24 PPG, Bastia 1.22 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the draw fit that even billing. Grenoble (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.40 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.05 average — tighter than their form line. Bastia (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.30 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.
