Ratings are our own 0-99 scale, built only from results data: ATT = 65 + 30 × log2(attack index), DEF = 65 − 30 × log2(defence index) (index 1.00 = competition average), FRM = 30 + 69 × points from the last 5 games ÷ 15, ELO = 60 + (Elo − 1500) ÷ 9, OVR = 30% ATT + 30% DEF + 20% FRM + 20% ELO. Each is capped to 1-99. The Manager style shows the same numbers on a 1-20 scale (rating ÷ 99 × 20). Ratings use only games before kick-off. Educational analysis, not betting advice.

Pre-game analysis
Real Sociedad (14th, 4 pts from 3) host Lyon (13th, 6 pts from 3) in the Europa League table as it stands. Real Sociedad have scored 8 and conceded 3 in 3 Europa League games (2.7 and 1.0 per game). Lyon have scored 5 and conceded 6 in 3 Europa League games (1.7 and 2.0 per game). Recent form across all competitions (oldest to newest): Real Sociedad DWWWL, Lyon WWLLW. In the last 4 meetings on record, Real Sociedad won 2, Lyon won 2 and 0 were drawn. The goals model expects about 2.4–1.4. Real Sociedad are clear favorites: Real Sociedad 60%, draw 19%, Lyon 21%. The single most likely score is 2–1, but even that only has a 9% chance. Elo ratings (Real Sociedad 1531, Lyon 1612) give Real Sociedad an expected score of 47%, which disagrees with the goals model. Small sample warning: one side has only 3 Europa League games this season, so these numbers lean heavily on competition averages.
Data outlook
Expected goals (model): Real Sociedad 2.37 · Lyon 1.35 · most likely score 2–1 (9%).
Method: Poisson. Baseline home 1.47 / away 1.55 goals per game from 55 Europa League games (this season). Expected goals = baseline × attack × opponent defence. Elo cross-check: Real Sociedad expected score 47%. Full method.
