Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Nantes to win as the most likely result (48%). It gives Laval 25% at home, a draw 28% and Nantes 48%, so its call is 2: Nantes to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 25% / 27% / 47%, a call of 2. Expected goals are 0.9 for Laval and 1.4 for Nantes; on goals, the model leans Under 2.5 at 61%. Careful: there is little recent data on Nantes, usually a promoted side, and the market tends to be right about those.
Rebuilt after kick-off using only matches played before it. A double chance (1X, X2, 12) is called when the top two results are within 10 points. A goals call (O2.5 or U2.5) is made only when the model gives one side at least 65%.
