✍️ Match Preview
Full Analysis
Stade Charléty plays host to Paris FC versus Caen in Ligue 2 (matchday 28). Kick-off: Monday 31 March 2025 at 20:45 UK time.
Current Form
Paris FC's record over their last 10 games: 7W 0D 3L (2.10 PPG). Last five: L W W W L. Offensively they are averaging 1.70 goals per game, with 1.30 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).
At home, Paris FC have gone 7W 2D 1L in their last 10 home games (2.30 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.90 goals scored and 1.00 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from their last 10 home games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground. BTTS has landed in 60% of their home matches — a rate that supports the Yes angle in this fixture.
Caen (all games): 1W 1D 8L across their last 10 — 0.40 points per game. Last five: L D W L L. Their scoring rate of 0.50 per game is modest, conceding 1.50 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 1 clean sheet from 10 outings (10%). Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets.
Caen away from home: 2W 1D 7L from their last 10 away games — 0.70 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game.
Form favours the hosts. Paris FC's 2.10 PPG return is 1.70 points per game ahead of Caen's 0.40 — a genuine gap in recent results that provides a statistically grounded case for backing the home side.
Head-to-Head
The head-to-head record is closely matched — across the 7 H2H matches in our data, Paris FC edge it 4 wins to 2, with 1 draw. Neither side has a commanding advantage.
The 7 H2H matches in our data averaged 1.9 goals per game — a neutral rate that gives no strong lean on the goals market from the H2H alone. The most recent of those, on 17 Aug 2024, ended Paris FC 2–0 Caen — a Paris FC win.
The head-to-head data offers no strong steer in either the result or goals markets. Form, the model and current market pricing should carry more weight for this fixture.
Trading
Paris FC half-time and goal-timing data (last 65 games, 31 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 68% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 77% of the time; of the 17 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 41%; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 61% of games (home games).
Caen half-time and goal-timing data (last 65 games, 31 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 71% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 90% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; of the 16 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 31%; BTTS occurs in 61% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 68% of games (away games); they fail to score in 31% of games.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Paris FC 49% versus Caen 45%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Paris FC 49% | Caen 48%). Note also that Caen surrender HT leads in 31% of cases while Paris FC recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 41% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Paris FC 2.02 xG and Caen 0.87 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Paris FC attack 1.281 / defence 1.012 | Caen attack 0.839 / defence 1.171. League average goals — home 1.350 / away 1.029. Paris FC carry an above-average attack rating of 1.281 — their 2.02 xG reflects attacking quality above the league norm. Data: built from Paris FC's last 65 games and Caen's last 65.
Result probabilities: Paris FC 64% | Draw 21% | Caen 15%. Fair-value odds: Paris FC 1.56 | Draw 4.87 | Caen 6.52. The model has a clear lean to Paris FC (64%) — a 43pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 55% | BTTS Yes probability 51% | Total xG 2.90. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 55% — the 2.90 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 51% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Final Verdict
Poisson rates Paris FC as the most likely outcome at 64% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 21% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
The Poisson model projects 2.90 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 55% — low conviction — though the H2H data averaging only 1.9 goals per game across 7 H2H matches points the other way.
Poisson assigns a 51% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Paris FC 60% (last 10 home games) | Caen 40% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Paris FC beat Caen 4-2 at Stade Charléty, Regular Season - 28, 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 Paris FC 2.02 xG and Caen 0.87 xG, a combined 2.90. The scoreboard read 4-2 for 6 actual goals. Paris FC beat their projection by 2.0 — clinical relative to the chances the model priced in. Caen outscored their 0.87 projection by 1.1. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Paris FC attack 1.28 / defence 1.01 against Caen attack 0.84 / defence 1.17, drawn from 65/65 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Paris FC 64% | Draw 21% | Caen 15%, with Paris FC to win its most likely call at 64%. The result followed the model's preferred path, landing its top-rated outcome.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 55%. The game delivered 6, so it went over — in line with the projection. Over 1.5 had been 79% and landed. Over 3.5 was 33% and came in. On both teams to score, the model sat at 51% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 48% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Paris FC 49%, Caen 48%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 47%, which did not match the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Paris FC's trading profile (65 games, 31 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 49% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 35% of the time, and conceded here.
Caen's trading profile (65 games, 31 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 45% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
On form, Paris FC arrived the stronger side — 1.72 PPG against 1.18. Form held, and they took the win. Paris FC (home/away splits) scored 4 against a 1.74 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 2 against a 1.00 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Caen (home/away splits) scored 2 against a 1.13 average — above their attacking norm and shipped 4 against a 1.77 concession average — a leakier day than usual.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 4 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (hit). A strong night for the model: the result sat comfortably inside what the pre-match data projected.
