Model vs Closing Market

Moderate Disagreement

The model rates St Patrick's Athl. considerably stronger than the closing betting market.

Largest probability gap: St Patrick's Athl. +8.0 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
St Patrick's Athl. 85.2% 77.2% +8.0 pp Model Higher
Draw 11.1% 15.0% -3.9 pp Aligned
Sligo Rovers 3.7% 7.8% -4.1 pp Aligned

The statistical model estimates St Patrick's Athl.'s win probability at 85.2%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 77.2%, a difference of 8.0 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 (St Patrick's Athl. 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.

AI match briefing

AI Match Summary

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

  • League: Premier Division
  • Fixture: St Patrick's Athl. vs Sligo Rovers
  • Kickoff: 2026-06-19 18:45:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 85.3% · Draw 11.1% · Away 3.7%
  • xG (showing): St Patrick's Athl. 3.21 — Sligo Rovers 0.5 (total xG ≈ 3.71)
  • Value headline: None (actionable) — best tracked EV is about +1.0%, still below the +2.0% minimum for a headline / default stake (no default bet).
  • Structural leans (not bets): Structural lean (model): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5 (Under 2.5 28.4% · Over 2.5 71.6%); BTTS No (Yes 38.3% · No 61.7%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5; BTTS No
  • BTTS (model): Yes 38.3% · No 61.7%
  • Correct score (top bin): 3-0 (13.5%)

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.

Most likely correct score stays a low-probability tail: use it for context, not as a must-bet story.

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%).
