We expect 1.23 goals for Le Havre and 1.22 for Lorient, which puts the game above 2.5 goals 44% of the time and both teams scoring 51%.

Every figure on this page is read off the same score matrix, so they cannot contradict one another. They come from a Dixon-Coles model recalculated after every matchday, and they take no account of announced line-ups.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most likely score in Le Havre v Lorient?

1–1, which comes up in 13.5% of simulations. No single scoreline is ever very likely: the distribution is spread across many results, which is why the full matrix matters more than the top line.

Will there be over 2.5 goals in Le Havre v Lorient?

The model puts the game above 2.5 goals 44% of the time, and above 1.5 goals 71% of the time. Expected goals are 1.23 for Le Havre and 1.22 for Lorient.

Will both teams score in Le Havre v Lorient?

Both teams score in 51% of simulations. Le Havre keep a clean sheet or Lorient fail to score in the remaining 49%.

How are these probabilities calculated?

A Dixon-Coles model estimates an attacking and a defensive strength for every club from past results, with time decay so recent matches weigh more. Those strengths give the expected goals for each side, from which the full score matrix and every market on this page are derived. It is recalculated after every matchday and does not read line-ups, injuries or transfers.

All these figures come from a single scoreline matrix, computed on Monday 19 October. They therefore cannot contradict one another: “over 2.5 goals” and “exact score” are two readings of the same object.
