Frequently asked questions

Who are the favourites in Lecce v Bologna?

Bologna, at 48%. The full split is Lecce 24%, draw 28%, Bologna 48%.

What is the most likely score in Lecce v Bologna?

0–1, which comes up in 15.2% 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 Lecce v Bologna?

The model puts the game above 2.5 goals 37% of the time, and above 1.5 goals 63% of the time. Expected goals are 0.85 for Lecce and 1.31 for Bologna.

Will both teams score in Lecce v Bologna?

Both teams score in 42% of simulations. Lecce keep a clean sheet or Bologna fail to score in the remaining 58%.

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.
