Prediction outcome

Result pick correct

We predicted Strasbourg win (54%). Final score 5–1.

Exact score not matched

Most likely score 1-1, actual 5-1. The most likely Strasbourg win is 2-1 (10%). 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.

Over 2.5 goals: yes

We gave over 2.5 a 57% chance; the match had 6 goals.

Both teams scored: yes

We gave both teams to score a 58% chance.
