From our Ligue 2 season simulation: the rest of the season played out 10,000 times by the same model as the prediction above. Each figure is that side's chance once this match ends in a win, a draw or a defeat for it, with every other match still left to the model. Positions in the table, not competition rules: what a place is worth differs from league to league.

Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Annecy carry a model rating of 6.52 against 6.39 for Nancy. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.
A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.57 goals for Annecy and 1.01 for Nancy. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Annecy rate 0.70 in attack and 1.36 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Nancy rate 0.61 and 1.52.
Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Nancy, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.
Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Annecy a 5.5% chance of the title and Nancy 1.2%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 1,819 correct results out of 3,801 settled predictions (48%), with 383 exact scorelines (10%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.
Full method: how the model works.
From the first whistle this page keeps going: the win probabilities at the top are recalculated as the match plays out, reading the score, the clock and any sendings-off. The same model, asked how many goals are left rather than how many there will be.
Team comparison
Bars show each side's share of the two-team total, based on the model's attack/defence ratings and expected goals for this fixture.
Why the model favours this side
The model gives Annecy the highest probability at 47%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.57 expected goals for Annecy against 1.01 for Nancy. Annecy's attack/defence rating is 0.7/1.36 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.61/1.52 for Nancy.

Position by match
AnnecyNancy
Annecy are 4th after 8 Ligue 2 matches (between 1st and 5th so far); Nancy are 5th after 8 (between 2nd and 15th). Rebuilt from the season's results after each side's matches (x-axis: that side's match number); ties split on goal difference, then goals scored.
Goals scored and conceded, by minute
All Ligue 2 matches this season: Annecy 8, Nancy 8.
Annecy score most often in the 31–45 minute window (5 goals); Nancy have let in 1 there.
Nancy score most often in the 46–60 minute window (3 goals); Annecy have let in 0 there.
Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window. Each side's goals sit above the goals its opponent has let in over the same minutes; the darker the cell, the more goals in that window. Stoppage time counts in the last window of its half. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it. Context, not a prediction.

Each side's next matches on our board after this one. The colour is how strong the opponent is, from easier to harder as on the scale above: its model rating ranked among the teams of that competition, in fifths, so bright red is the top fifth whoever is playing it. The win figure is this side's own chance in that match, which is where venue and its own level come in. A match already on our board links to its own prediction; the rest follow as their week comes up.
