Strasbourg’s recent form shows a mixed last five with a recent loss, while Nice’s last five include a draw. The outcome remains uncertain, but the model’s pick remains Strasbourg victory.

The upset came early as Nice overturned Strasbourg’s home advantage, finishing 0-2 to secure an away win. The pre-match favourite, a home win, had a 36% probability but proved wrong. The model’s selection for a home victory was therefore incorrect. Every suggested pick was a hit: Under 7.5 goals at 99.4%, Under 6.5 at 98.1%, Away under 3.5 goals at 95.5%, Home under 3.5 goals at 95.2%, Under 5.5 at 94.6%, Under 4.5 at 86.8%, Away under 2.5 goals at 85.3% and Home under 2.5 goals at 84.6%. Strasbourg, after a recent defeat to Marseille, could not convert their 1.69 average goals scored into a win, while Nice, coming off a 0-0 draw, managed to keep the scoreline within the low-goal range predicted.
