Model read

Little between these two in the data. Auxerre at 41% is as close to a call as the model will offer for 12 September 2026. Notably, the model is warmer on Auxerre than the market (36%). We flag disagreement rather than hide it. No strong lean on goals (50% Over 2.5). The interest, if any, lives elsewhere. Theo Bair drives the home shot volume, 1.4 on target per 90. Recent form reads W3 D0 L3 for Auxerre against W0 D4 L2 for Nice. The recent series reads 2 wins for Auxerre, 2 draws and 1 for Nice over 5 games, 2.8 goals on average. The engine passes on this one (outside trust zone (model prob 0.41, zone (0.45, 0.7))).

Lower-probability calls our model rates above the obvious price; random finds are high-return scorelines that can happen. Higher risk, not a tip; we never beat the sharp market.

Auxerre (3 games)

Nice (3 games)

4.7 / 7.7

Shots taken before and after half-time, per game, over the games in brackets. The bar is the share taken in the first half. This is Understat shot data with the half-time split verified against the half-time score, counted separately from the match shot totals above, so the two can differ. A match where the split could not be verified is left out rather than guessed.

How this works (honestly)

We are transparent about our method, our limits and how we measure performance.

What we use

Results, odds & closing prices, xG, shots, lineups, referee and schedule load.

Our method

Dixon-Coles + an xG strength model + champion/challenger selection + probability calibration + a trust gate.

What we don’t do

We do not beat the sharp market. The value is honest probabilities, No-bet calls and CLV.

Performance snapshot

Top-pick hit rate 47.7% (reliability, not edge). Calibration error 0.0095 (55261 matches).

More: Auxerre predictions · Nice predictions · Ligue 1

Not financial advice. No model beats the sharp closing market on public data. The value here is honest probabilities, No-bet calls, and CLV history.
