📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Nancy beat Estac Troyes 2-1 at Stade Marcel Picot, Regular Season - 22, 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 Nancy 0.69 xG and Estac Troyes 1.34 xG, a combined 2.03. The scoreboard read 2-1 for 3 actual goals. Nancy beat their projection by 1.3 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Nancy attack 0.68 / defence 1.31 against Estac Troyes attack 0.88 / defence 0.90, drawn from 21/55 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Nancy 19% | Draw 28% | Estac Troyes 53%, with Estac Troyes to win its most likely call at 53%. Instead the game produced a Nancy win, an outcome the model had rated at just 19% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 33%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 60% and landed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 37% and the match saw both sides score — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Nancy 48%, Estac Troyes 48%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

Nancy's trading profile (21 games, 9 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 38% of their matches — today it did.

Estac Troyes's trading profile (21 games, 9 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 33% of the time, and conceded here.

Form vs Result

On form, Estac Troyes arrived the stronger side — 1.95 PPG against 1.05. Form was overturned, with Nancy winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. Nancy (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 0.67 average — above their attacking norm. Estac Troyes (home/away splits) shipped 2 against a 0.89 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
