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 Summary

Pre-match snapshot for this fixture.

  • League: Pro League
  • Fixture: Al Riyadh vs Al Akhdoud
  • Kickoff: 2026-05-21 17:00:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 63.6% · Draw 20.4% · Away 16.1%
  • xG (showing): Al Riyadh 2.4 — Al Akhdoud 1.17 (total xG ≈ 3.57)
  • Primary / headline line (Betting Primary Pick when shown): BTTS Yes
  • Model: 63.7% · Implied: 52.9% · Probability edge: +10.8 pts · Est. EV: +14.7%
  • BTTS (model): Yes 63.7% · No 36.3%
  • Correct score (top bin): 2-1 (9.5%)

Where EV is shown, it is estimated return per unit stake at the best tracked decimal price — not the same thing as a raw probability gap.

Correct score remains high-variance even when a line is most likely on paper.

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%).
