Full Analysis
Stade Raymond-Kopa plays host to Angers versus Lille in Ligue 1, Regular Season - 23. Kick-off: Sunday 22 February 2026 at 16:15 UTC.
Current Form
Angers's overall Ligue 1 record this term: 5W 1D 4L from 10 games (1.60 PPG). Last five: L D W W 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. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. This season is still relatively young for Angers, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Angers's form when playing at home: 5W 2D 3L across 10 games at Stade Raymond-Kopa this term (1.70 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.50 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game. 4 home clean sheets from 10 games (40%) — a solid defensive base on their own ground.
Lille have collected 1.40 PPG across 10 Ligue 1 outings this season: 4W 2D 4L. Last five: L L L D D. Their scoring rate of 1.20 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings suggests some defensive organisation. This season is still relatively young for Lille, so this record blends games from this season and last.
When travelling in Ligue 1 this season, Lille have posted 4W 1D 5L from 10 away outings — 1.30 PPG. Away from home they average 1.40 goals scored and 1.50 conceded per game. Away from home, both teams have scored in only 20% of games — a low rate that backs BTTS No when they travel.
A near-identical PPG reading — 1.60 for Angers, 1.40 for Lille — means the form record is uninstructive on result selection. The goals and market sections will carry greater evidential weight.
Head-to-Head
Lille hold the superior head-to-head record in this fixture, claiming 4 wins from 7 meetings. The hosts have won just 1 times in that span.
Historically, goals have been at a premium in this fixture — just 1.6 per game from 7 meetings. The Under 2.5 has a clear base rate from the H2H record alone. The most recent clash, on 2 Nov 2025, ended 0–1 with Lille winning.
It is worth noting that Lille have a superior record in this fixture despite their visitor status — 4 wins from 7 meetings. Home advantage alone is not a sufficient reason to dismiss that track record.
Trading
Angers half-time and goal-timing data (56 games, 28 at home): they score before half-time in 75% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 94% of the time; BTTS occurs in 43% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 39% of games (home games); they fail to score in 38% of games.
Lille half-time and goal-timing data (56 games, 28 at away): they score before half-time in 71% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 80% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 53% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 36% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 43% of games (away games).
BTTS rates are mixed from the trading data — Angers 38% versus Lille 52%; no strong lean in either direction. Under 2.5 goals has backing from the in-play data — both teams register low Over 2.5 rates (Angers 30% | Lille 46%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Angers 1.44 xG and Lille 1.12 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: Angers attack 0.973 / defence 1.012 | Lille attack 0.911 / defence 0.998. League average goals — home 1.486 / away 1.221. Data: 56 Angers games / 56 Lille games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Angers 44% | Draw 26% | Lille 29%. Fair-value odds: Angers 2.27 | Draw 3.85 | Lille 3.45. This is a low-confidence result — no outcome exceeds 45%. The draw at 26% is a primary outcome, not an afterthought.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 47% | BTTS probability 52% | Total xG 2.57. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 47%/53% — the total xG of 2.57 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS probability of 52% is moderate — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.
Verdict
The Poisson model's primary lean is Angers at 44% — marginal model lean. Draw probability of 26% warrants consideration of Double Chance or Draw No Bet on Angers 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 2.57 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 47% — reasonable confidence, supported by H2H averaging 1.6 goals per meeting.
Poisson assigns a 52% probability to BTTS Yes based on the attack/defence strength model. This conflicts with form data: Angers 50% | Lille 20% from recent games — a notable divergence.

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Lille beat Angers 0-1 at Stade Raymond-Kopa, Regular Season - 23, 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 Angers 1.44 xG and Lille 1.12 xG, a combined 2.57. The scoreboard read 0-1 for 1 actual goal. Angers fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Angers attack 0.97 / defence 1.01 against Lille attack 0.91 / defence 1.00, drawn from 56/56 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it Angers 44% | Draw 26% | Lille 29%, with Angers to win its most likely call at 44%. The actual Lille 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 — a call the model got right. Over 1.5 had been 73% and missed. On both teams to score, the model sat at 52% and the match did not — a miss on BTTS. Historically the two sides average 38% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Angers 30%, Lille 46%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 45%, which matched the one-sided outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
Angers's trading profile (56 games, 28 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 38% of their matches — today it did not; they fail to score in 38% of games, a blank that repeated today.
Lille's trading profile (56 games, 28 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 52% of their matches — today it did not; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and duly kept one.
Form vs Result
On form, Lille arrived the stronger side — 1.68 PPG against 1.16. That form edge translated into the three points. Angers (home/away splits) managed 0 against a 1.21 scoring average — below par going forward. Lille (home/away splits) conceded 0 against a 1.29 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (miss), form (hit). The model got the gist right while missing on the margins.
