How It Unfolded

Lorient beat Paris FC 2-0 at Stade du Moustoir - Yves Allainmat, Regular Season - 16, in the Ligue 2. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Lorient 1.24 xG and Paris FC 1.30 xG, a combined 2.55. The scoreboard read 2-0 for 2 actual goals. Paris FC landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lorient attack 1.45 / defence 1.07 against Paris FC attack 1.22 / defence 0.62, drawn from 15/53 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Lorient 35% | Draw 27% | Paris FC 38%, with Paris FC to win its most likely call at 38%. The actual Lorient win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.
