BTTS — Yes Won

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won

Both clubs come in with very similar offensive output on paper, but the recent run tells a different story. Brest have dropped three of their last four league games, while Le Mans' recent form is unavailable, leaving a gap in confidence for the visitors.

Robbo's Verdict

Lean

Le Mans to win Lost Slight lean Lean · Home edge

The model’s 37.1% win probability for Le Mans, equal to Brest’s, combined with Brest’s three defeats in five matches, tilts the balance toward a home victory.

Show the maths

Both teams sit at 1.35 expected goals, so the model sees no clear scoring advantage. However, the win probabilities are split 37.1% each, with a 25.8% draw. Brest’s recent form – three losses (0‑4, 0‑1, 1‑2) and a draw – suggests they are more likely to concede than to score, nudging the model’s probability toward Le Mans. This slight edge justifies the home win pick.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Le Mans averaging 1.35 expected goals and Stade Brestois 29 averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Le Mans 1.35, Stade Brestois 29 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Le Mans 1.35 + Stade Brestois 29 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Le Mans 1.35 + Stade Brestois 29 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Le Mans at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Stade Brestois 29 at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
