Each pick's figure is the one published with it before kickoff. It comes from a separate calculation, so a pick on the result can show a different number from the win/draw/win split above.

What we said pre-match

"Over 1.5 Goals forecasts as the high-confidence call at 75%, with both sides combining for 2.69 expected goals and Lorient's marginal 1.45 xG edge suggesting an attacking blueprint Angers cannot easily neutralize."
