How the model rates them now
Attack and defence are multipliers on an average side: above 1.00 in attack means the club scores more than the average team in its competition, and below 1.00 in defence means it concedes fewer. The methodology sets out how they are derived, including where the model is known to be wrong.
| Club | Attack | Defence |
|---|---|---|
| Lyon | 1.03 | 0.83 |
| Stade Brestois 29 | 0.94 | 1.13 |

Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.
The two sides
Stade Brestois 29 carry a model rating of 6.76 against 6.96 for Lyon. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.31 goals for Stade Brestois 29 and 1.61 for Lyon. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Stade Brestois 29 rate 0.94 in attack and 1.13 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Lyon rate 1.03 and 0.83.
The rest of the season
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Stade Brestois 29 a 0% chance of the title and Lyon 5.7%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 2,299 correct results out of 4,800 settled predictions (48%), with 474 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.
Full method: how the model works.
Once the match starts, the win probabilities at the top update live from the score, the clock and any sendings-off.
Team comparison
Bars show each side's share of the two-team total, based on the model's attack/defence ratings and expected goals for this fixture.
Why the model favours this side
The model gives Lyon the highest probability at 42%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.31 expected goals for Stade Brestois 29 against 1.61 for Lyon. Stade Brestois 29's attack/defence rating is 0.94/1.13 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 1.03/0.83 for Lyon.
How the model reaches 42% for Lyon to win
Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 37% for Lyon to win. Then home advantage takes away 5 points, Stade Brestois 29's ratings add 5 points and Lyon's ratings add 5 points, which lands on the published 42%.
- Two average sides, neutral ground37%
- Home advantage32%−5
- Stade Brestois 29's ratings37%+5
- Lyon's ratings42%+5
Each step adds one input to the step before. In another order the steps would differ in size; the end point would not.

Lyon score most often in the 76–90 minute window (4 goals); Stade Brestois 29 have let in 2 there.
Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window. Each side's goals sit above the goals its opponent has let in over the same minutes; the darker the cell, the more goals in that window. Stoppage time counts in the last window of its half. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it. Context, not a prediction.
