📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Montpellier and Amiens finished level at 1-1 at Stade de la Mosson, Regular Season - 4, in the Ligue 2. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Montpellier 1.18 xG and Amiens 1.34 xG, a combined 2.52. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Montpellier attack 0.87 / defence 1.07 against Amiens attack 1.09 / defence 0.99, drawn from 3/37 games (Blended).

On the result, the model split it Montpellier 33% | Draw 27% | Amiens 41%, with Amiens to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 46%. The game delivered 2, so it stayed under — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 72% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 54% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Montpellier 54%, Amiens 54%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 46%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Montpellier's trading profile (37 games, 18 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did.

Amiens's trading profile (37 games, 18 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did.

Form vs Result

On form, Amiens arrived the stronger side — 1.27 PPG against 0.54. The form guide was only half-right: the stronger side did not lose, but could not convert the edge into a win. Montpellier (home/away splits) conceded 1 against a 2.33 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict
