🧮 Model Insight

Where the Numbers Come From

The model rates Saint Etienne's attack at 0.79x the league average against Marseille's defence at 0.85x — combine the two and it projects 1.00 expected goals for the hosts. Flip it around — Marseille's attack (1.57x) against Saint Etienne's defence (0.90x) — and the away total comes out at 1.82.

These ratings are built from 13/47 games of current-season data — a full enough sample to trust.
