Leading scorers: Angers and Marseille

Angers

No player in Ligue 1's leading scorers — 6 league goals as a side.

Marseille

  • A. Gouiri4 goals1 assist

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

Angers carry a model rating of 6.66 against 6.92 for Marseille. 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 1.12 goals for Angers and 1.58 for Marseille. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Angers rate 0.68 in attack and 1.03 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Marseille rate 1.12 and 0.98.

Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Angers, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,418 correct results out of 3,018 settled predictions (47%), with 294 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.

Full method: how the model works.

From the first whistle this page keeps going: the win probabilities at the top are recalculated as the match plays out, reading the score, the clock and any sendings-off. The same model, asked how many goals are left rather than how many there will be.

Statistical estimate, not betting advice This prediction is generated from a statistical model for entertainment and informational purposes only. It does not guarantee any outcome and should not be used as the basis for placing a bet.

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 projects 1.12 expected goals for Angers against 1.58 for Marseille. Angers's attack/defence rating is 0.68/1.03 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 1.12/0.98 for Marseille.

Goals scored and conceded, by minute

All Ligue 1 matches this season: Angers 5, Marseille 5.

Angers scored 112111
Marseille conceded 210221

Angers score most often in the 31–45 minute window (2 goals); Marseille have let in 0 there.

Marseille scored 100222
Angers conceded 202000

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.

Each side's next matches on our board after this one. The colour is how strong the opponent is, from easier to harder as on the scale above: its model rating ranked among the teams of that competition, in fifths, so bright red is the top fifth whoever is playing it. The win figure is this side's own chance in that match, which is where venue and its own level come in. A match already on our board links to its own prediction; the rest follow as their week comes up.
