Was this pick made in advance?

Anything without that suffix was fitted on all available data.What the chances say
Le Mans have scored 10 from 10.6 expected and conceded 15 from 16.8 — both ends in line with the chances, so the recent record is a fair reflection.
Angers are finishing below their chances — 3.4 goals fewer than expected across 10 matches, despite creating the openings.
Finishing swings far more than chance creation, so a gap this size usually narrows. Over ten matches it is suggestive, not settled — a genuinely elite finisher beats expected goals for years.
