We expect

0–10.8–1.4 goals

Likeliest exact score 0–1 (15%), then 1-1 (13%), 0-0 (12%). Boulogne and Nantes finish on some other score 61% of the time.

Our calls on this match cannot all be right at once, so the score above sets both teams to score aside. Each is the likelier side of its own market and each is close to even; no single scoreline satisfies all of them together.

Percentage chance of each exact scoreline, Boulogne down the side and Nantes across. These 99.7% cover every result up to 5 goals a side; the remaining 0.3% 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.
