Nice vs Auxerre Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 2.00 expected goals for Nice and 1.20 for Auxerre, a combined total of 3.20. That distribution gives Nice the largest share of the 1X2 market at 56%, with the draw at 22%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 62% for over 2.5 goals and 60% for both teams to score, with 1–1 the single most likely scoreline at 10%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 56% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

Prediction conclusion

The model's leading selection is Nice win, at 55.9%. Its single most likely scoreline is 1–1.

It puts both teams scoring at 60% and over 2.5 goals at 62%.

A 56% 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.
