Model vs Closing Market

Strong Disagreement

The model rates Leicesterfield considerably stronger than the closing betting market.

Largest probability gap: Leicesterfield +16.9 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Venda FC 41.8% 57.5% -15.8 pp Market Higher
Draw 25.7% 26.8% -1.1 pp Aligned
Leicesterfield 32.6% 15.7% +16.9 pp Model Edge

The statistical model estimates Leicesterfield's win probability at 32.6%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 15.7%, a difference of 16.9 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 (Venda FC win 2–0).

Market Assessment

The statistical fair estimate is materially higher than the market on Leicesterfield.

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

Post Match Insights

What failed

  • Both Teams To Score: model leaned BTTS Yes; match finished BTTS No
  • Over / Under 2.5: model leaned Over 2.5; match finished Under 2.5 (2 goals)

Market lesson

Large model–market gaps do not automatically mean the market is right. Here the closing market priced Venda FC more conservatively (24.9% vs model 41.8%, 16.9 pp), but the model's lean was validated (Venda FC win 2–0).

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.
