Why the model favours this side

The model gives France the highest probability at 61%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 2.42 expected goals for France against 1.11 for Türkiye. France's attack/defence rating is 1.74/0.59 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 1.51/1.03 for Türkiye.

Uncalibrated. National-team ratings are anchored on the FIFA World Ranking, because these groups never play each other and nothing inside the results can compare them. The constants behind that anchor are declared, not fitted — too few national-team matches have been settled to test them — so treat this prediction as the weakest kind we publish. How the model works.

How the model reaches 61% for France to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for France to win. Then home advantage adds 2 points, the level of the two sides adds 1 point, France's ratings add 10 points and Türkiye's ratings add 12 points, which lands on the published 61%.
