Percentage chance of each exact scoreline, Rennes down the side and Marseille across. These 98.2% cover every result up to 5 goals a side; the remaining 1.8% is spread across higher scores.

Every other number on this page is a sum of this grid — the match result is the cells either side of the diagonal, over 2.5 is everything totalling three or more. We publish calibration for those sums, not for individual scorelines: no gate has ever graded our chance of exactly 2–1, so read a single cell as the shape of the forecast rather than a number we stand behind.

Recommended bet: none on this match

We weighed 7 priced outcomes on this match and none of them cleared the bar we set. Most matches end here, and a page that found a bet in every fixture would not be worth reading.

Our forecast makes Rennes the most likely of the three results, at 41% (we would not be surprised by anything from 33% to 50%). Most likely is not likely: at 41% this result does not happen 59% of the time. The market agrees on the result and prices it at 48%.

On goals we are saying nothing today: this market did not pass our own calibration checks, and a number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number.

For comparison, the market gives Rennes a 48% chance. Our model makes it 41%.

How the devigged price moved before kick-off

Solid: the market over 8 captures. Dashed: our forecast, which does not move. Scaled 0–100%, so a line that looks flat is a price that barely moved rather than one we stopped watching.

Gap is our probability minus the market's. A large one means we disagree with the price, not that we are right — whether we have been is published per market on the accuracy page. A market with no price is one we hold no odds for yet.
