Model vs Closing Market

Strong Disagreement

The model rates CFR 1907 Cluj considerably stronger than the closing betting market.

Largest probability gap: CFR 1907 Cluj +10.2 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
CFR 1907 Cluj 35.3% 25.2% +10.2 pp Model Edge
Draw 26.1% 26.7% -0.7 pp Aligned
FCSB 38.6% 48.1% -9.5 pp Market Higher

The statistical model estimates CFR 1907 Cluj's win probability at 35.3%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 25.2%, a difference of 10.2 percentage points. This highlights a substantial disagreement between the model's assessment and the market consensus, rather than indicating which view is ultimately correct.

Model probabilities are generated from the statistical xG model using a Poisson distribution. Closing market probabilities are derived from consensus closing 1X2 odds after margin removal. Values represent implied probabilities rather than betting recommendations. Closing snapshot: PRE1.

After full time, the result was CFR 1907 Cluj win 1–0.

Market Assessment

The statistical fair estimate is materially higher than the market on CFR 1907 Cluj.

  • The model may see a slower-scoring or closer matchup than the market.
  • Monitor line movement before kickoff — not a betting recommendation.

Review FAQ

How accurate was the prediction?
This page grades directional markets (1X2, Over/Under 2.5, BTTS) against the full-time result. The prediction grade reflects how many of those tracked markets matched reality.
What does xG Accuracy measure?
xG Accuracy compares the model's pre-match expected-goals profile to the actual scoreline — not whether every market hit. A strong directional review can coexist with a moderate xG accuracy score.
Why wasn't the exact score predicted?
Correct-score outcomes are low-probability tails even when the model reads the match profile well. We highlight top score bins for context; missing the exact line does not invalidate a directional review.
Does this improve the AI record?
Each finished match is logged in our validation pipeline. Aggregated hit rates and CLV studies are published separately — this page is the per-match audit trail.

AI match briefing

AI Match Summary

Below is a compact, numbers-first snapshot aligned with the same engine as the cards above.

  • League: Liga I
  • Fixture: CFR 1907 Cluj vs FCSB
  • Kickoff: 2026-08-23 18:30:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 35.3% · Draw 26.1% · Away 38.6%
  • xG (showing): CFR 1907 Cluj 1.74 — FCSB 1.57 (total xG ≈ 3.31)
  • Value headline: At least one tracked line reaches the headline EV threshold — align with the hero / Primary card if shown.
  • Structural leans (not bets): Structural lean (model): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5 (Under 2.5 35.7% · Over 2.5 64.3%); BTTS Yes (Yes 66.6% · No 33.4%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5; BTTS Yes
  • BTTS (model): Yes 66.6% · No 33.4%
  • Correct score (top bin): 1-1 (10.0%)

The decision block shows no default Primary: Primary needs consensus EV ≥ +5.0% plus strength/reliability/calibration gates. A separate Lean/tracked gate is +2.0% (selective only). Lean labels are directional only — not bankroll-sized recommendations.

If lines move materially, re-run generation or refresh — implied probabilities and any future EV readouts will change first.

Historical Recommendation

Historical Decision: Monitor

Outcome: Missed — Pre-match 1X2 lean did not match the full-time result.

Risk Factors Considered Before Kickoff

  • Price movement: implied probabilities and EV move with odds.
  • Sample / data gaps: low-information leagues widen forecast bands.
  • In-play state: goals and red cards are not modelled here.
  • Scoreline variance: the most likely scoreline is still usually a low absolute probability outcome (often well below 20%).
