Match Analysis

Nancy arrive with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from their last 5 league games (LWWLD from most recent), scoring 3 and conceding 2 with 3 clean sheets. Reims arrive with 2 wins, 3 draws and 0 defeats from their last 5 league games (DWWDD from most recent), scoring 12 and conceding 7 with 1 clean sheet. In the table Nancy sit 7th with 7 points from 5 games and a goal difference of +1, while Reims are 3rd with 9 points and a goal difference of +5. That puts Reims 2 points clear of their opponent. Nancy average 1.0 goals scored and 0.5 conceded over their last five home games, while Reims average 2.0 scored and 0.5 conceded over their last five away games. Looking at what drives the winner call, the model's own attribution points to home advantage (11.1 points toward Nancy), team strength (Elo & Glicko) (8.2 points toward Reims), results & dominance (4.8 points toward Reims). These factors are measured in win-probability points and add up to the gap between the two sides if there is a winner.

Under/Over 2.5 Goals Prediction

The model puts Under 2.5 at 56% and Over 2.5 at 44%, so its call is Under 2.5. Recent games point the same way: Nancy matches produced 1.0 goals on average over their last 5, Reims matches 3.8. Both teams to score comes in at 50%, no goal for at least one side at 50%. In the model's own attribution, league scoring environment pulls toward Under by 2.6 points and Nancy defense pulls toward Under by 2.1 points.
