Each pick's figure is the one published with it before kickoff. It comes from a separate calculation, so a pick on the result can show a different number from the win/draw/win split above.

What we said pre-match

"Lyon's 0.55 expected-goals edge and 50% win probability underpin an 82% forecast for Over 1.5 Goals, as Lacazette's striker role and Rennais's defensive vulnerability suggest a multi-goal affair."
