Model vs Closing Market

Moderate Disagreement

The model rates VfB Stuttgart considerably stronger than the closing betting market.

Largest probability gap: VfB Stuttgart +5.4 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
VfB Stuttgart 48.1% 42.7% +5.4 pp Model Higher
Draw 22.3% 24.0% -1.7 pp Aligned
Bayer Leverkusen 29.6% 33.3% -3.7 pp Aligned

The statistical model estimates VfB Stuttgart's win probability at 48.1%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 42.7%, a difference of 5.4 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 model's directional lean matched the result (VfB Stuttgart win 3–1).

Market Assessment

The fair estimate shows a modest edge over current market pricing on VfB Stuttgart.

  • Monitor line movement before kickoff — not a betting recommendation.

Post Match Insights

What worked

  • Expected goals projected a high-scoring match (ΣxG 3.94) — 4 goals materialised
  • VfB Stuttgart attacking xG significantly stronger (2.21 vs 1.73)
  • Both Teams To Score (Yes) matched the full-time result

Market lesson

Large model–market gaps do not automatically mean the market is right. Here the closing market priced VfB Stuttgart more conservatively (42.7% vs model 48.1%, 5.4 pp), but the model's lean was validated (VfB Stuttgart win 3–1).

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

Quick read on how the model reads this matchup.

  • League: Bundesliga
  • Fixture: VfB Stuttgart vs Bayer Leverkusen
  • Kickoff: 2026-05-09 13:30:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 48.1% · Draw 22.3% · Away 29.6%
  • xG (showing): VfB Stuttgart 2.21 — Bayer Leverkusen 1.73 (total xG ≈ 3.94)
  • 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 24.7% · Over 2.5 75.3%); BTTS Yes (Yes 74.2% · No 25.8%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5; BTTS Yes
  • BTTS (model): Yes 74.2% · No 25.8%
  • Correct score (top bin): 2-1 (8.2%)

When book depth is thin or odds are missing, EV may be unavailable even though the model still prefers one side on totals or BTTS — wait for cleaner prices or skip.

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

Historical Recommendation

Historical Decision: No Primary Bet

Outcome: Validated — Pre-match lean validated against 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%).
