✍️ Match Preview
Fixture Analysis
Lyon welcome Lille to Parc Olympique Lyonnais in Ligue 1 (matchday 20). Kick-off is Sunday 1 February 2026 at 14:00 UK time.
Form Guide
Lyon — last 10 games: 5W 3D 2L, averaging 1.80 points per game. Last five: L W W W W. Offensively they are averaging 1.90 goals per game, with 1.10 conceded. 4 clean sheets in 10 games (40%) reflects a solid defensive base.
Lyon's home record over their last 10 home games: 8W 0D 2L (2.40 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.80 goals scored and 0.70 conceded per game. 6 clean sheets from their last 10 home games (60%) — they are an exceptionally hard side to score against at home. Their home PPG of 2.40 is noticeably stronger than their overall 1.80 — Lyon are significantly better at home than their overall form suggests.
Looking at their last 10 matches, Lille stand at 5W 0D 5L — 1.50 PPG. Last five: W W L L L. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.80 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in just 30% of their games, reflecting a regular tendency to keep or record clean sheets.
Lille away from home: 4W 1D 5L from their last 10 away games — 1.30 PPG on the road. Away from home they average 1.70 goals scored and 1.90 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 30% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.
The form comparison is too close to call — 1.80 PPG (Lyon) versus 1.50 (Lille). When the figures are this level, no pick can be reliably derived from recent results alone.
H2H
There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 9 H2H matches, Lyon have won 4, Lille 2, with 3 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.
The 9 H2H matches in our data averaged 2.6 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 28 Sep 2025, ended Lyon 1–0 Lille — a Lyon 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 Patterns
Lyon in-play and half-time data (last 53 games, 26 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 62% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 78% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 56% of those occasions; of the 18 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 33%; BTTS occurs in 54% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 65% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 38%.
Lille in-play and half-time data (last 53 games, 26 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 73% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 85% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 54% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 38% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 46% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Lyon 57% versus Lille 53%; no strong lean in either direction. The over/under 2.5 picture is inconclusive from the in-play data (Lyon 62% | Lille 49%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Lyon 2.00 xG and Lille 1.22 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: Lyon attack 1.126 / defence 0.836 | Lille attack 1.129 / defence 1.163. League average goals — home 1.523 / away 1.289. Data: built from Lyon's last 53 games and Lille's last 53.
Result probabilities: Lyon 55% | Draw 22% | Lille 23%. Fair-value odds: Lyon 1.80 | Draw 4.63 | Lille 4.36. The model has a clear lean to Lyon (55%) — a 32pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 62% | BTTS Yes probability 61% | Total xG 3.21. Over 2.5 holds a meaningful probability edge at 62% — the 3.21 total xG provides moderate support, though the model is not projecting a high-scoring game. BTTS Yes at 61% — both xG figures (2.00 / 1.22) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Summary & Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Lyon at 55% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 22% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
On the goals line, Poisson's 3.21 combined xG gives a 62% probability to Over 2.5 — reasonable conviction, supported by recent form (Lyon's last 10 home games and Lille's last 10 away games) averaging 3.0 goals per game.
Poisson assigns a 61% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data — both teams scored in: Lyon 40% (last 10 home games) | Lille 30% (last 10 away games), a notable divergence.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Lyon beat Lille 1-0 at Parc Olympique Lyonnais, Regular Season - 20, in the Ligue 1. 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 Lyon 2.00 xG and Lille 1.22 xG, a combined 3.21. The scoreboard read 1-0 for 1 actual goal. Lyon fell 1.0 short of their projected output. Lille landed 1.2 under their projected return. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Lyon attack 1.13 / defence 0.84 against Lille attack 1.13 / defence 1.16, drawn from 53/53 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Lyon 55% | Draw 22% | Lille 23%, with Lyon to win its most likely call at 55%. That is exactly how it finished — the model's leading outcome was vindicated.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 62%. The game delivered 1, so it stayed under — the opposite of the projected direction. Over 1.5 had been 83% and missed. Over 3.5 was 40% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 56% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Lyon 62%, Lille 49%), a base rate that pointed the other way from today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 55%, which did not match the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Lyon's trading profile (53 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 57% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 36% of the time, and duly kept one.
Lille's trading profile (53 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 53% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and conceded here.
Form vs Result
The form lines were close — Lyon 1.75 PPG, Lille 1.74 PPG — offering no strong steer, and the Lyon win broke the near-deadlock. Lyon (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.04 scoring average — below par going forward and conceded 0 against a 1.08 average — tighter than their form line. Lille (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.46 scoring average — below par going forward.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 1 of 3 pre-match signals came in: result (hit), 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.
