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

"Lille enters title-race territory where every point matters, while Toulouse plays without immediate pressure—yet expected goals sit nearly level at 1.25–1.36, making Over 1.5 Goals the model's 73% call the fixture's most reliable forecast."
