Full Analysis
Stade Robert Urbain plays host to Francs Borains versus K. Lierse S.K. in Challenger Pro League (matchday 24). Kick-off: Sunday 2 March 2025 at 18:15 UK time.
Form & Momentum
Francs Borains have collected 1.50 PPG across their last 10 games: 4W 3D 3L. Last five: W L W L L. They are averaging 1.20 goals per game and conceding 1.20 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a high BTTS rate that carries real weight in the goals markets.
Francs Borains's home record over their last 10 home games: 1W 2D 7L (0.50 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. Both teams have scored in 80% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture. Somewhat surprisingly, their home PPG of 0.50 lags behind their overall 1.50 — home advantage has not translated into better results recently.
K. Lierse S.K. (all games): 4W 3D 3L across their last 10 — 1.50 points per game. Last five: W D W D L. Their scoring rate of 1.10 per game is modest, conceding 0.90 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 4 clean sheets in 10 outings (40%) underlines their defensive solidity.
When travelling, K. Lierse S.K. have posted 2W 3D 5L from their last 10 away outings — 0.90 PPG. Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.70 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.90 is notably below their overall 1.50 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.50 for Francs Borains, 1.50 for K. Lierse S.K. — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
In terms of goals, both squads have been finding the net consistently (from Francs Borains's last 10 home games and K. Lierse S.K.'s last 10 away games) — Francs Borains have seen both teams score in 80% of their games, K. Lierse S.K. in 60%. That combined rate is a strong statistical case for BTTS Yes as a standalone play.
H2H History
Neither side has dominated the 3 H2H matches in our data: 1 wins for Francs Borains, 2 for K. Lierse S.K. and 0 draws — leaving the H2H largely neutral. With only 3 H2H matches to go on, treat this as a light input.
These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 3.3 per game across the 3 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 6 Oct 2024, ended Francs Borains 0–4 K. Lierse S.K. — a K. Lierse S.K. win.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 3.3 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
Trading & In-Play
Francs Borains — key trading statistics (last 53 games, 26 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 69% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 86% of the time; of the 15 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 65% of games (home games); they fail to score in 32% of games.
K. Lierse S.K. — key trading statistics (last 53 games, 26 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 92% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 75% of the time; BTTS occurs in 58% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 62% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 45%.
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Francs Borains 55% versus K. Lierse S.K. 62%; no strong lean in either direction. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Francs Borains 64% | K. Lierse S.K. 66%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Francs Borains 1.22 xG and K. Lierse S.K. 1.59 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: Francs Borains attack 0.850 / defence 1.221 | K. Lierse S.K. attack 0.948 / defence 1.039. League average goals — home 1.378 / away 1.374. Francs Borains's defence rating of 1.221 (above 1 = concedes more than average) is pushing K. Lierse S.K.'s projected output up. Data: built from Francs Borains's last 53 games and K. Lierse S.K.'s last 53.
Result probabilities: Francs Borains 29% | Draw 26% | K. Lierse S.K. 46%. Fair-value odds: Francs Borains 3.47 | Draw 3.91 | K. Lierse S.K. 2.19. K. Lierse S.K. hold a narrow Poisson edge at 46% — the draw (26%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 53% | BTTS Yes probability 56% | Total xG 2.81. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 53%/47% — the total xG of 2.81 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 56% 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 K. Lierse S.K. as the most likely outcome at 46% — moderate model lean. Draw probability of 26% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on K. Lierse S.K. if the outright odds are short. The opposing side holds a 29% win probability per the model — this is not a banker and should be staked accordingly.
The Poisson model projects 2.81 xG in total — Over 2.5 at 53% — strong conviction, supported by recent form (Francs Borains's last 10 home games and K. Lierse S.K.'s last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 3.3 goals per game across 3 H2H matches.
Poisson assigns a 56% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: Francs Borains 80% (last 10 home games) | K. Lierse S.K. 60% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Francs Borains beat K. Lierse S.K. 1-0 at Stade Robert Urbain, Regular Season - 24, in the Challenger Pro League. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting Francs Borains 1.22 xG and K. Lierse S.K. 1.59 xG, a combined 2.81. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. K. Lierse S.K. landed 1.6 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Francs Borains attack 0.85 / defence 1.22 against K. Lierse S.K. attack 0.95 / defence 1.04, drawn from 53/53 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Francs Borains 29% | Draw 26% | K. Lierse S.K. 46%, with K. Lierse S.K. to win its most likely call at 46%. The actual Francs Borains 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 53%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 77% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 56% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 65% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Francs Borains 64%, K. Lierse S.K. 66%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 58%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Francs Borains's trading profile (53 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 55% of their matches — today it did not.
K. Lierse S.K.'s trading profile (53 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 62% of their matches — today it did not.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Francs Borains 1.08 PPG, K. Lierse S.K. 1.25 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Francs Borains win broke the near-deadlock. Francs Borains (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.69 average — tighter than their form line. K. Lierse S.K. (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.27 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 1 against a 1.92 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 0 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (miss), BTTS (miss). The data was on the wrong side of this result more often than not — a reminder that a single match sits well inside the model's variance.
