We play the match out thousands of times using our expected goals and count how often each scoreline lands. The brighter a square, the more often we see that result — our single most likely outcome here is 0-1. It's worth remembering that no one scoreline is ever truly likely on its own, since football tends to spread itself across many possible endings.
The preview
Paris Saint Germain host Monaco in a Ligue 1 clash that pits two sides with contrasting recent momentum against each other. With both teams involved in the title picture, this fixture carries plenty of weight for the season ahead.
Scorina's model gives Monaco the edge, projecting a 44% win probability against PSG's 21%, with a draw at 35%. The expected goals figures back this up, with Monaco expected to edge it 1.21 to 0.72. PSG's most recent match ended in a draw, while Monaco arrive on the back of a win, and their 3.0 points-per-game rate in that period puts them in exceptional form. The most likely scoreline is a tight 0-1.
Given the model's low confidence rating, this points to a close, cagey contest rather than a one-sided affair. Still, the underlying numbers and Monaco's sharper form make them the more likely side to edge it, and a narrow away win looks the most sensible call here.
