Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Lens to win as the most likely result (41%). It gives Strasbourg 34% at home, a draw 25% and Lens 41%, so its call is 12: either team to win (no draw). The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 24% / 24% / 52%, a call of 2 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 1.5 for Strasbourg and 1.6 for Lens; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 60%.
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%.
