Why the model favours this side

The model gives Nancy the highest probability at 43%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.71 expected goals for Nancy against 1.35 for Dijon. Nancy's attack/defence rating is 0.68/1.34 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.82/1.7 for Dijon.

Nancy carry a model rating of 6.51 against 6.5 for Dijon. A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.

How the model reaches 43% for Nancy to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Nancy to win. Then home advantage adds 5 points, the level of the two sides adds 1 point, Nancy's ratings change nothing and Dijon's ratings add 1 point, which lands on the published 43%.
