Reims

2.37Betano · fair 2.20 · qualifies at 2.27+ · 1.40u

Why this price?

Back Reims to win at 2.37 with Betano.

Our model puts the chance at 53% and the bookmakers' own consensus, margin removed, at 40%; we judge it at 45%, weighting the market more than the model, which is a fair price of 2.20. The offered 2.37 implies only 42%, so the price is 7.7% better than our estimate says it should be. That gap is the edge.

Stake 1.40 units of a 100-unit bank: the size follows the edge (a quarter-Kelly fraction), never more than 2 units.

Projected goals: Boulogne 0.90, Reims 1.59.

The edge is an estimate and carries model error; it can be wrong, and a losing run is normal.

A positive gap means our probability is higher than the price implies. That is information, not a recommendation: a pick is only published where the gap clears our bar after allowing for model error, and those appear above.

Reims favoured against Boulogne

Our model makes Boulogne 21% to win this Ligue 2 fixture, with the draw at 26% and Reims at 53%. The goal projection is 0.90 for Boulogne against 1.59 for Reims — a substantial edge to Reims on expected output. A combined 2.49 goals points to a cagey game with few clear chances, which puts over 2.5 at 45% and both teams to score at 48%. The single most likely scoreline is 0-1 at 13%, though no individual scoreline is ever likely in absolute terms — that is the nature of a low-scoring sport. This sits in the awkward middle of the distribution, where the model has a view but not a strong one. All figures come from a Dixon–Coles adjusted Poisson model fitted on recent results and expected goals. They are estimates, not forecasts of fact.

Most likely scores: 0-1 13%; 1-1 12%; 0-2 11%; 1-2 9%; 0-0 9%
