Model vs Closing Market

Strong Disagreement

The model rates New York Red Bulls considerably stronger than the closing betting market.

Largest probability gap: New York Red Bulls +14.5 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Atlanta United FC 32.8% 47.2% -14.4 pp Market Higher
Draw 23.9% 24.0% -0.1 pp Aligned
New York Red Bulls 43.3% 28.8% +14.5 pp Model Edge

The statistical model estimates New York Red Bulls's win probability at 43.3%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 28.8%, a difference of 14.5 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 Atlanta United FC win 2–1.

Market Assessment

The statistical fair estimate is materially higher than the market on New York Red Bulls.

  • 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: Major League Soccer
  • Fixture: Atlanta United FC vs New York Red Bulls
  • Kickoff: 2026-08-15 23:30:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 32.8% · Draw 23.9% · Away 43.3%
  • xG (showing): Atlanta United FC 1.69 — New York Red Bulls 1.95 (total xG ≈ 3.64)
  • Best +EV line (same label as hero card when Primary thresholds are not met): New York Red Bulls
  • Model: 43.3% · Implied: 28.8% · Probability edge: +14.5 pts · Est. EV: +8.2%
  • BTTS (model): Yes 71.1% · No 28.9%
  • Correct score (top bin): 1-1 (8.7%)

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.

Early match state can move realised goals away from pre-kick projections.

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%).
