Lyon vs Le Mans Prediction, Odds & Statistics
Our Poisson-based model projects 2.20 expected goals for Lyon and 1.10 for Le Mans, a combined total of 3.30.

Goals markets follow the same shape: 64% for over 2.5 goals and 59% for both teams to score, with 2–1 the single most likely scoreline at 10%.

Prediction conclusion
The model's leading selection is Lyon win, at 62.3%. Its single most likely scoreline is 2–1.
It puts both teams scoring at 59% and over 2.5 goals at 64%.
A 62% 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.
