Lyon vs Le Havre Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 1.78 expected goals for Lyon and 0.66 for Le Havre, a combined total of 2.44.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 44% for over 2.5 goals and 40% for both teams to score, with 1–0 the single most likely scoreline at 16%.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Lyon win, at 64.1%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–0.

It puts both teams scoring at 40% and over 2.5 goals at 44%.

A 64% selection is expected to miss in the remaining share of matches, and football regularly produces red cards, injuries and tactical changes the data cannot see. Treat this as a probability, not a forecast of the result.
