Prediction outcome

Exact score not matched

Most likely score 1-1, actual 0-2. The most likely Lorient win is 1-0 (9%). A win is spread over many scores (1-0, 2-1, 2-0…), a draw over a few, so the single top score can be a draw even when a win is the pick. Exact scores land about one time in eight, so this is shown for reference.
