🎯 **INDICATIVE SCORES**
Main scenario: Real Sociedad 2–1 Lyon
Alternative scenarios: 1–1 or Real Sociedad 1–2 Lyon
Score confidence: Low
Real Sociedad received the outright lean partly through home advantage, but Lyon entered with the stronger immediately preceding result and higher domestic position. Both teams’ cited recent matches support Over 1.5, while two- and three-goal results support Under 3.5. Higher-scoring European results make the latter less secure.
⚠️ **What could change the picture?**
Confirmed starting lineups and dependable current injury information were unavailable. Real Sociedad’s recent European results also showed substantial variance, while Lyon demonstrated scoring ability against strong European opposition. Live Bet365 prices were not authoritatively verified, so the research cannot assess whether any selection offers value at the available price.
**Other research estimates:**
Draw: 28%
Lyon win: 27%
BTTS Yes: approximately 55%, rejected as a selection
A four-goal match remains a meaningful risk to the Under 3.5 lean.
