📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

Reims beat Nancy 0-1 at Stade Marcel Picot, Regular Season - 8, 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 1.44 xG and Reims 1.11 xG, a combined 2.56. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Nancy fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Nancy attack 0.84 / defence 0.99 against Reims attack 0.92 / defence 1.35, drawn from 7/7 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Nancy 45% | Draw 26% | Reims 29%, with Nancy to win its most likely call at 45%. The actual Reims win had been the model's second-ranked read at 29%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 47%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 72% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Nancy 57%, Reims 43%), a base rate that pointed the other way from 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 (7 games, 3 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 43% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 43% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Reims's trading profile (7 games, 3 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — Nancy 1.57 PPG, Reims 1.57 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Reims win broke the near-deadlock. Nancy (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.00 scoring average — below par going forward. Reims (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 2.00 average — tighter than their form line.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). This one broke away from the data — most of the pre-match signals were overturned by how the ninety minutes actually played out.
