The model gave a Lorient win only 31%. At 31%, an outcome happens about 31 times in 100: that is what a probability means.
Lorient
MonacoGenuinely open contest: Lorient and Monaco finish within a few points of each other (31% vs 37%), with the draw at 32%. The first half is often locked (draw at the break in 50% of runs) before the game opens up after the restart.
The match is simulated 50,000 times from both teams' recent statistics (goals, shots, form, absences, line-ups when announced). Each percentage is the share of simulations in which the outcome happens: these are probabilities, not certainties. Last updated 18 October at 15:36 (UK time).
