📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Nancy beat Clermont Foot 1-0 at Stade Marcel Picot, Regular Season - 17, 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 Nancy 0.96 xG and Clermont Foot 1.11 xG, a combined 2.08. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Clermont Foot landed 1.1 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Nancy attack 0.68 / defence 1.07 against Clermont Foot attack 0.89 / defence 1.12, drawn from 16/50 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Nancy 31% | Draw 30% | Clermont Foot 39%, with Clermont Foot to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual Nancy win had been the model's second-ranked read at 31%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 34%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 61% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 41% and the match did not — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 44% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Nancy 44%, Clermont Foot 44%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 50%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Nancy's trading profile (16 games, 7 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 38% of their matches — today it did not.

Clermont Foot's trading profile (16 games, 7 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 25% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Nancy 0.94 PPG, Clermont Foot 1.19 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Nancy win broke the near-deadlock. Nancy (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.00 average — tighter than their form line. Clermont Foot (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 0.86 scoring average — below par going forward.

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.
