Where our probabilities disagree with bookmaker prices.
| Market | Our model | Bookies imply | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monaco Win | 32.4% | 44.4% | 12 pts under |

| Over 2.5 Goals | 58.2% | 66.7% | 8 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.
Marseille arrive on a 3-game winning run, yet the model still only gives them 43% here.
A Ligue 1 meeting between Monaco (5th, 3 pts) and Marseille (1st, 3 pts). Two sides with their own objectives and plenty to play for.
Marginal call: Marseille at just 43%. With the draw at 23%, this is anyone's game. You could make a case for Marseille, but there's a lot to be said for playing it safe.
Our PickBoth teams to score at @1.44. Model probability 61% vs implied 69%. The market is 8pp more bullish than our model, so this is a stability pick, not a value one.
A concern for Marseille: they're giving up chances worth 2.0 a game over their last 5 (vs 1.4 for the season). The defence is creaking.
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.
Monaco create chances worth 1.7 a game (and give up chances worth 1.5), leaving them +0.2 a game on the balance. Marseille create 1.8 (giving up 1.4) for a balance of +0.4. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath. A worry for Monaco: the chances they're creating lately are worth 1.2 a game, well below their 1.7 season figure. The attacking output has dipped. Marseille's defence is giving up chances. Worth 2.0 a game over their last 5 vs 1.4 for the season. They're becoming easier to break down.
Goals look likely here. Monaco average 1.0 per game (1.0 at home) and Marseille chip in with 4.0 (4.0 away). Defensively, Monaco concede 1.8 at home and Marseille leak 1.2 on the road. We make it 58% 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 61%. Two or more goals at @1.17 is a steadier alternative for accas. The chance-quality data backs the goals case. Monaco create chances worth 1.7 a game and Marseille 1.8. Combined, that's 3.4 a game from open play alone.
Both teams score in 59% of Monaco's home games and 35% of Marseille's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Marseille have goals in them (4.0 per game) but their record at the back (1.2 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
In the last 10 meetings: Monaco have won 4, Marseille 4, with 2 draws. These fixtures average 2.9 goals per game. 6 of the last 10 produced 3+ goals. Recent results: Monaco 2-1 Marseille, Marseille 1-0 Monaco, Monaco 3-0 Marseille, Marseille 2-1 Monaco.
Most likely scorelines: 1-2 (8%) and 1-3 (8%).
