⇄ Why the estimates differ

The supplied data contains factors pointing in both directions. Rennes have the stronger season record, higher table position, greater goal output, higher attacking xG, and three wins in their last five matches. They also won the most recent meeting by four goals. Those details could help explain why the bookmaker based estimate gives more weight to an away result.

Nice’s case is supported by home advantage and two wins in their last two home matches, while Rennes have several unavailable players, including three suspended and two injured. Nice’s recent results are mixed, but they have won three of their last five overall. The statistical model may therefore be placing more emphasis on Nice playing at home and its recent home results, while the bookmaker estimate appears more aligned with Rennes’ broader season performance, recent scoring, and head to head record.

Gap of 3.4 percentage points.
