Home/away splits are small samples — our 30,582-match study found ~94% of such gaps are indistinguishable from chance, which is why the app's ratings pool them rather than trusting the split.
Their most common result this season is 1–2 (2 times). Biggest win: 5–2 at home to Auxerre (Sat 22 Aug). Heaviest defeat: 1–2 away at Monaco. 1 of their 7 games have produced five goals or more. Current run: 4 straight matches over 2.5 goals.
Streaks read louder than they predict: our break study found a three-game goals run carries roughly ±4.6 points of signal — real, but small, and it resets entirely after a long lay-off.
