⇄ Why the estimates differ

Both estimates favour Arsenal, but the market gives them a much firmer edge, and it leaves less room for a draw or a Lille win. The data shows some features that could account for part of that difference. Arsenal's expected goals are strong at both ends, while Lille concede more than they create, and a view that leans heavily on those figures would widen the home advantage. Arsenal also won four of their last five. A more cautious reading could instead give weight to their 0-3 defeat at Brighton, to four unavailable players, and to the fact that each side has played only one match this season, which makes the season figures thin. Lille's absences are also listed, and line-ups are not yet announced. Beyond these points, the data does not show a specific reason for the size of the gap.

Gap of 22.8 percentage points.
