The two sides

Boulogne carry a model rating of 6.43 against 6.74 for Nancy. 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.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 1.38 goals for Boulogne and 1.91 for Nancy. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Boulogne rate 0.60 in attack and 1.39 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Nancy rate 0.98 and 1.22.

That points to 64% for over two and a half goals and 64% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 1-1 (10%), 1-2 (9%), 2-1 (7%).
