Has the model earned this number?

It puts Marseille at 56% here. Across 3,660 settled matches (as of 14 October 2026), 872 forecasts have landed in the 50–65% band; those outcomes actually happened 55.5% of the time, against an average forecast of 55.5%. In this range the two line up, so the figure above can be read literally.

Every settled prediction on this site is scored against an uninformed baseline, band by band, and published whether or not it flatters the model — see the full record.

From our Ligue 1 season simulation: the rest of the season played out 10,000 times by the same model as the prediction above. Each figure is that side's chance once this match ends in a win, a draw or a defeat for it, with every other match still left to the model. Positions in the table, not competition rules: what a place is worth differs from league to league.

Leading scorers: Marseille and Le Havre

Marseille

GoalsAssists

Le Havre

No player in Ligue 1's leading scorers — 4 league goals as a side.

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

Marseille carry a model rating of 6.94 against 6.68 for Le Havre. 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 1.83 goals for Marseille and 0.84 for Le Havre. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Marseille rate 1.12 in attack and 0.93 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Le Havre rate 0.66 and 0.97.

The rest of the season

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Marseille a 2% chance of the title and Le Havre 0%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.

How this was produced

Publicly tracked record so far: 1,776 correct results out of 3,725 settled predictions (48%), with 376 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 1.83 expected goals for Marseille against 0.84 for Le Havre. Marseille's attack/defence rating is 1.12/0.93 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.66/0.97 for Le Havre.

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.
