📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Stade Francis Le Basser, Regular Season - 4, as Laval and Clermont Foot 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 Laval 1.75 xG and Clermont Foot 1.39 xG, a combined 3.15. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Laval fell 1.8 short of their projected output. Clermont Foot landed 1.4 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Laval attack 1.17 / defence 1.19 against Clermont Foot attack 1.01 / defence 1.10, drawn from 37/37 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Laval 46% | Draw 23% | Clermont Foot 31%, with Laval to win its most likely call at 46%. Instead the game produced a draw, an outcome the model had rated at just 23% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 61%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 82% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 62% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 40% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Laval 43%, Clermont Foot 38%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Laval's trading profile (37 games, 18 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 51% of their matches — today it did not.

Clermont Foot's trading profile (37 games, 18 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 54% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 40% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Laval arrived the stronger side — 1.43 PPG against 1.00. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Laval (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.50 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.17 average — tighter than their form line. Clermont Foot (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.94 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.67 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss), form (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
