These are uncalibrated model probabilities, not a historical win rate.
Match preview & statistical analysis
The Ligue 1 meeting between Lille OSC and Racing Club de Lens is assessed with a league-specific Dixon-Coles model trained on completed matches.
The fitted attack and defence strengths produce expected-goal rates of 1.12 for Lille OSC and 1.42 for Racing Club de Lens. Recent matches carry more weight, while ridge regularisation reduces extreme ratings from limited evidence.
The highest-probability exact score is 1–1 at 13.9%. Over 2.5 goals is estimated at 46.8% and both teams to score at 52.6%. Each market is calculated from the same corrected score matrix.
The Dixon-Coles low-score adjustment changes the probabilities of 0–0, 0–1, 1–0 and 1–1. This is useful for football, where those outcomes are not fully described by two independent scoring processes.
This automated estimate does not guarantee a result and may not include confirmed line-ups, injuries, weather or tactical changes. The original model version and training cutoff are retained with the published forecast.
