PAU vs Sochaux Prediction, Odds & Statistics

Our Poisson-based model projects 0.99 expected goals for PAU and 0.70 for Sochaux, a combined total of 1.69. That distribution gives PAU the largest share of the 1X2 market at 41%, with the draw at 34%. Goals markets follow the same shape: 24% for over 2.5 goals and 32% for both teams to score, with 0–0 the single most likely scoreline at 19%. Probabilities are statistical estimates and carry meaningful uncertainty — a 41% favourite still loses or draws a large share of the time.

    Prediction conclusion

    The model's leading selection is Home/Draw, at 75.0%. Its single most likely scoreline is 0–0.

    It puts both teams scoring at 32% and over 2.5 goals at 24%.

    A 75% 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.
