📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

PAU beat Grenoble 1-0 at Stade Nouste Camp, Regular Season - 25, 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 PAU 1.29 xG and Grenoble 1.37 xG, a combined 2.66. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Grenoble landed 1.4 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of PAU attack 0.90 / defence 1.21 against Grenoble attack 1.07 / defence 1.17, drawn from 62/62 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it PAU 35% | Draw 26% | Grenoble 39%, with Grenoble to win its most likely call at 39%. The actual PAU win had been the model's second-ranked read at 35%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 50%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — a miss for the goals model. Over 1.5 had been 74% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 54% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 50% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (PAU 53%, Grenoble 47%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 52%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.

Trading Patterns vs Reality

PAU's trading profile (62 games, 30 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did not.

Grenoble's trading profile (62 games, 30 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 32% of the time, and conceded here; they fail to score in 37% of games, a blank that repeated today.

Form vs Result

The form lines were close — PAU 1.31 PPG, Grenoble 1.39 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the PAU win broke the near-deadlock. PAU (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.27 average — tighter than their form line. Grenoble (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.07 scoring average — below par going forward.

Verdict

Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss). A poor return for the projections: the match defied the majority of what the numbers expected.
