What we expect
In plain English
Lens are more likely than not to avoid defeat, but it is close. The model expects them to create around half a goal more per game than Lyon. Expect goals: the model sees around three.
What would change the call
Lens or draw, priced again from the same expected goals if the match reaches these states.
Each row is the call re-priced for that scoreline at half-time. Lineups are not in it — we publish per-player shooting rates, not a squad-strength number, so what a rested front three does to this figure is not something we can honestly put a number on.
