📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Montpellier and Reims finished level at 0-0 at Stade de la Mosson, Regular Season - 25, 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 Montpellier 1.44 xG and Reims 1.25 xG, a combined 2.70. The scoreboard read 0-0 for 0 actual goals. Montpellier fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Reims landed 1.3 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Montpellier attack 1.28 / defence 1.12 against Reims attack 0.93 / defence 0.97, drawn from 24/24 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Montpellier 41% | Draw 26% | Reims 33%, with Montpellier to win its most likely call at 41%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 26%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 51%. The game delivered 0, so it stayed under — against the model's lean. Over 1.5 had been 75% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 55% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Montpellier 43%, Reims 45%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which matched the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Montpellier's trading profile (58 games, 29 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 41% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 48% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Reims's trading profile (58 games, 29 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 48% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and duly kept one; they fail to score in 34% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

On form, Reims arrived the stronger side — 1.28 PPG against 0.86. 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) managed 0 against a 1.28 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.93 average — tighter than their form line. Reims (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.17 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.24 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.
