Frequently asked questions

Who are the favourites in Lazio v Parma?

Lazio, at 51%. The full split is Lazio 51%, draw 29%, Parma 20%.

What is the most likely score in Lazio v Parma?

1–0, which comes up in 17.6% 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 Lazio v Parma?

The model puts the game above 2.5 goals 33% of the time, and above 1.5 goals 60% of the time. Expected goals are 1.30 for Lazio and 0.70 for Parma.

Will both teams score in Lazio v Parma?

Both teams score in 37% of simulations. Lazio keep a clean sheet or Parma fail to score in the remaining 63%.

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 nightly and does not read line-ups, injuries or transfers.

All these figures come from a single scoreline matrix, computed on Sunday, September 27. They therefore cannot contradict one another: “over 2.5 goals” and “exact score” are two readings of the same object.
