In the model 0:1 comes up most often (about 14%), then 1:1 and 0:0.

The scores for each match are the most common outcomes at those chances; any single score is always unlikely.

Why

Brest are slightly ahead on the model's expected goals: 1.21 against 0.96. Recent results favour Lorient: 8 points from the last 5 matches against 4 points. The table is unfair to Brest: 6.5 points below their play. The gap usually narrows, though not necessarily at once.
