What the model expected

Its probabilities for this match, logged before kick-off and never changed. The result is highlighted.

Nice
31%
Draw
29%
Lille
40%

Before kick-off the model favoured Lille to win (40%); it finished with Nice to win. A miss — it gave the actual result 31% beforehand.

One match tells you nothing on its own — whether these percentages are any good is the whole point of the calibration page, where every one of them is scored.

The brain read

Little between them on chances created — the xG read 1.5–1.6, shots 10–21 with 4–8 on target. Lille got into the box far more often (15 shots inside it to 7). On chances created the game was tighter than the 2–1 suggests.

A second opinion written by rule from the numbers on this page — where the shot picture and the xG disagree, it says so rather than picking a winner. Backward-looking only; it claims nothing about any future result.

How to read this table

Consensus of bookmaker prices captured 2026-09-20 08:04 UTC. These are the closing prices — the market’s last word before kick-off. The Move column is how each market’s implied chance has shifted since the first price we captured: green = the chance has risen (the price shortened, backing coming in), red = the chance has fallen (the price eased out — what punters call the price ‘drifting’).

Prices are observations, not offers. Each price is the average across the bookmakers the collector sees, and the implied chance is that price with the bookmaker’s margin stripped out. The market’s read is published so the model’s read can be judged against it — nothing here is advice, and nothing here is staked.
