Toulouse 29%, the draw 28%, Lyon 43%. That's the shape of this one.
Toulouse are unbeaten in their last four; Lyon have lost their last two. Form gives little away going into this Ligue 1 tie.
Marginal call: Lyon at just 43%. With the draw at 28%, this is anyone's game. You could make a case for Lyon, but there's a lot to be said for playing it safe.
The bookmakers have priced this match fairly. Our model doesn't see a big edge in the match result market.
One thing to keep in mind about Toulouse. They're scoring 1.5 goals per game but the quality of chances they create only works out at 1.0. Scoring that much more than the chances suggest (+0.4), that kind of hot finishing usually cools off, so their results may be flattering their actual play. The gap in chance quality is clear: Lyon come out at +0.1 a game (chances they create minus chances they give up) compared to -0.4. 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.
Toulouse create chances worth 1.0 a game (and give up chances worth 1.4), leaving them -0.4 a game on the balance. Lyon create 1.6 (giving up 1.5) for a balance of +0.1. On the quality of chances, Lyon look the stronger side. they create more and give up less. Toulouse are scoring 1.5 goals a game off chances worth just 1.0. That's +0.4 more than the chances suggest: finishing hot. History says this kind of run usually cools off.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Toulouse are scoring 1.5 a game (1.5 of those at home) and Lyon manage 2.0 (2.0 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 43%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 52%. Two or more goals at @1.22 is a steadier alternative for accas.
Both teams score in 41% of Toulouse's home games and 53% of Lyon's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Lyon have goals in them (2.0 per game) but their record at the back (2.2 conceded) leaves them open. This could be end-to-end.
Most likely scorelines: 1-1 (10%) and 1-0 (7%).
