Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Metz to win as the most likely result (48%). It gives Metz 48% at home, a draw 24% and Rodez 27%, so its call is 1: Metz to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 50% / 26% / 24%, a call of 1. Expected goals are 1.7 for Metz and 1.2 for Rodez; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 56%. Careful: there is little recent data on Metz, 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%.
