What these numbers mean
Every figure comes from the real results of Ligue 1 matches. Goals are counted on the 90-minute score, as bookmakers settle Over/Under, BTTS and 1X2 markets, and only the regular season is included: play-offs and one-off finals are left out.
- Over 2.5: share of matches with three or more total goals.
- BTTS: share of matches in which both teams scored at least once.
- Home / Draw / Away: share of matches won by the home team, drawn, or won by the visitors.
A league average describes the league, not a single match: the teams playing, injuries and the odds on offer matter far more for one game. Use these numbers as a starting point and compare them with the price: our guide on value bets shows how.
