Lille vs Estac Troyes: Both teams to score - Yes
Lille and Estac Troyes both sit on a 2.0 expected‑goals mark, and the model flags a 74.7% chance both will find the net. Recent form shows each side capable of scoring while also leaking goals.
Lille host Estac Troyes in a Ligue 1 clash where both clubs have been fluid in attack but porous at the back. With Lille’s recent run of scoring in four of five league games and Troyes’ tendency to concede, the match is primed for a dual‑goal showdown.
Robbo's Verdict
The model rates the likelihood of both sides scoring at 74.7%, driven by identical 2.0 expected‑goals and recent form that shows each team scoring and conceding regularly.
Show the maths
With Lille averaging 2.0 expected goals and Estac Troyes averaging 2.0, the model gives a 74.7% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 25.3% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 4.0 (Lille 2.0 + Estac Troyes 2.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 76.1% chance against 23.9% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Lille at 39.6%, the draw at 20.7%, and Estac Troyes at 39.6% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 7.3% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Lille
Lille have scored in four of their last five league games – a 1‑0 win away at Monaco, a 2‑0 away win over Angers, a 2‑2 home draw with Paris Saint‑Germain and a 1‑0 away win at Toulouse – only failing to hit the net in the 0‑2 home loss to Auxerre. This scoring consistency, coupled with occasional concessions, underpins the expectation that they will find the net while also allowing Troyes a chance to score.
Estac Troyes
Estac Troyes have netted in two of their last three league outings – a 2‑1 away win at Lorient and a 2‑6 home defeat to Strasbourg – while holding a 0‑0 home draw with Paris FC. Their ability to score, even in a heavy loss, suggests they can breach Lille’s defence, supporting a BTTS outcome.
Head-to-Head
In the latest head‑to‑head meetings, the teams drew 1‑1 in June 2023, and Lille secured 5‑1 and 2‑0 victories earlier that year, while Troyes once won 3‑0 in May 2022. The lone recent draw featured both sides scoring, reinforcing the BTTS trend.
