Where our probabilities disagree with bookmaker prices.
| Market | Our model | Bookies imply | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Both Teams to Score | 53.2% | 65.8% | 13 pts under |

What this means: where our model sits above the bookies is where we see value they don't; below means the market already has it priced, no edge there.
The model makes Lens 45% favourites here. Strasbourg carry the 27% upset.
Strasbourg have taken 7 points from their last five; Lens have won three of their last five. Form gives little away going into this Ligue 1 tie.
Too close to call with any conviction. Lens edge it at 45% but a draw (29%) is just as likely. One to tread carefully with.
The bookmakers have priced this match fairly. Our model doesn't see a big edge in the match result market.
The gap in chance quality is clear: Lens come out at +0.8 a game (chances they create minus chances they give up) compared to -0.0. that's a real edge in the quality of chances.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Strasbourg create chances worth 1.6 a game (and give up chances worth 1.6), leaving them 0.0 a game on the balance. Lens create 2.1 (giving up 1.3) for a balance of +0.8. On the quality of chances, Lens look the stronger side. they create more and give up less.
Goals look likely here. Strasbourg average 1.6 per game (1.6 at home) and Lens chip in with 2.4 (2.4 away). Defensively, Strasbourg concede 1.9 at home and Lens leak 1.4 on the road. We make it 60% for three or more goals. The numbers back it without being overwhelming. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 53%. Two or more goals at @1.20 is a steadier alternative for accas. The chance-quality data backs the goals case. Strasbourg create chances worth 1.6 a game and Lens 2.1. Combined, that's 3.7 a game from open play alone.
Both teams score in 53% of Strasbourg's home games and 59% of Lens's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Lens have goals in them (2.4 per game) but their record at the back (1.4 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end. Don't underestimate the visitors. Lens create chances worth 2.1 a game and Strasbourg give up chances worth 1.6 at home. The away side could control the ball here.
In the last 10 meetings: Strasbourg have won 3, Lens 4, with 3 draws. These fixtures average 2.3 goals per game. 4 of the last 10 produced 3+ goals. Recent results: Strasbourg 1-1 Lens, Lens 1-0 Strasbourg, Lens 0-2 Strasbourg, Strasbourg 2-2 Lens.
Most likely scorelines: 1-2 (9%) and 2-2 (7%).
