Prediction
Predicted score
Our Poisson model rates each team's attack and defence mostly on expected goals, the quality of the chances it makes and allows (blended with last season's ratings early on), then weighs head-to-head history and injuries to calculate the most likely outcome.

In brief

Twelfth-placed Angers SCO host seventeenth-placed Marseille. Angers SCO arrive in mixed form and Marseille in poor form, and Marseille have lost their last four. Angers SCO have won one of their three home games and Marseille have lost every away game this season. Marseille have had much the better of their past meetings. Marseille have the longer injury list. The model sees little between the sides. The model gives Angers SCO a better chance than the bookmakers do.

Key factors in prediction

Statistics baseline: 2026 season
Angers SCO vs Marseille
Attack strength
0.90 / 0.96
Defence strength
1.03 / 0.96
Head-to-head
0.91 / 1.09
Injury factor
1.00 / 1.00
No units: every number compares a team with an average Premier League side, which scores 1.00. Attack is a team's scoring rate at home or away (built from goals and expected goals) against the league average, so 1.16 means 16% more than average. Defence is the same for goals conceded, turned round so higher is better. Head-to-head and injuries nudge each side's expected goals: 1.15 adds 15%, 0.85 takes 15% off, 1.00 changes nothing.

Where we differ from the bookmakers, they have usually been right: in our backtests, backing the outcomes our model rated higher lost money. Treat a difference as something to look into, not a bet.
