match report · 25.10 18:46

A goalless first half turned on 48 minutes, when Lucas Buades scored for Le Mans from a Lucas Bretelle assist. Cameron Archer levelled for Auxerre on 56 minutes and it finished 1-1. The xG favoured the visitors, 1.43 to 0.91, even though Auxerre had 60% of the ball, 13 shots to 11 and five on target to two. Le Mans's goalkeeper made five saves to Auxerre's one, and Auxerre won seven corners to one. Archer had the highest rating of the match, 7.8. Our both-teams-to-score bet, backed at 1.61, landed. Before kick-off Auxerre to win was 2.11, the draw 3.62 and Le Mans 3.37, while the exact 1-1 score carried a price of 6.33. Two goals kept the total below the 2.5 line.

The largest group of AI models bet on both teams to score — the bet won. 3 more bet on over 2.5 goals — the bet lost. The other 2 chose a bet each: an Auxerre handicap and an Auxerre win.

Odds — the bookmaker average at the moment the AI model answered.

Odds quoted in this analysis are as of 19.10 at 08:55 UTC

Le Mans have not kept a clean sheet in any of their three away games this season, and they have found the net every time: 1.3 scored and 2.3 conceded per match, a 3.7 goal average. Auxerre are running at a similar rhythm at home, with 1.3 scored and 1.3 conceded, both teams on the scoresheet in two of three matches and over 2.5 goals in two thirds of them. Across the season Auxerre have scored eight and conceded nine, Le Mans have scored six and conceded 10, and between them they have just one clean sheet. The market rates goals at both ends at 58%, so it is more likely than not.

Where we could be wrong

The head-to-heads are the warning sign. In Ligue 2 Le Mans twice left Auxerre without a goal of their own, losing 0-1 in January 2020 and 0-2 in August 2019. Heavy rain and a 16 km/h wind also point towards a scrappy game full of crosses rather than an open exchange of attacks. Even so, our pick is both teams to score at 1.61.

The bet comes from the largest group of AI models pointing the same way (a home win and a home handicap count as one view), and within that group it is the bet named most often; if two groups are level, the one priced closer to the bookmakers' line is taken — how we calculate
