Lorient vs Pau prediction

Lorient

For Lorient, we analyze their last 8 matches, taking into account various factors such as the quality of their performance, the match results, the location of the match (whether it was played at home or away), and the strength of their opponents. To determine the strength of the opponents, we look at the results of their previous matches. For each game, we will give the team Lorient conditional points, which later will be used to determine the favorite.

Pau

Similarly, for Pau, we analyze their last 8 matches using the same approach.

Identifying the favourite

After analyzing both teams' last 8 matches, we've assigned 452 points to the home team and 163 points to the away team. This suggests that one team has an advantage over the other. However, it's important to consider that the home team (Lorient) is playing on their own turf, which may slightly improve their chances of winning.

To determine what percentage of victories each team achieves at home and away, we've compiled statistics from several recent years to eliminate any chance-related factors. It turns out that 64.06% of victories for the team Lorient occurred in home matches. For the team Pau this indicator is 56.36%. On average, this equates to 60.21%, suggesting a slight advantage for Lorient all other things being equal.

Now, to determine the favorite of the match, we will take 60.21% of the home team's points and 39.79% of the away team's points. It turns out that the favorite of the match is Lorient with an advantage of 272 points against 65. If we convert it to a percentage ratio, it will be 80.71% to 19.29%.

Bookmakers odds and probability

Now let's see who the bookmakers consider the favorite and compare their data with our calculations. The bookmakers estimate the probability of a draw in this match at 15.67% with a coefficient of 6.38. The coefficient for the home team's victory is 1.31, and for the away team's victory it is 12.66. If we exclude the draw, the probability of the home team's victory will be 90.63%, and the away team's victory - 9.37%. This differs from our calculations.

Match prediction

As a result of the analysis conducted, an inaccuracy was found in the bookmaker's line. In our opinion, the probability of Pau's victory is an order of magnitude higher than what the bookmakers think. The difference is 9.67%. The coefficient for the team's victory is 12.66, while in reality, it should be 6.15.
