Model vs Closing Market

Moderate Disagreement

The closing market prices Bohemians higher than the statistical model.

Largest probability gap: Bohemians -9.8 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Bohemians 37.6% 47.4% -9.8 pp Market Higher
Draw 30.9% 27.3% +3.6 pp Aligned
Derry City 31.5% 25.3% +6.2 pp Model Higher

The closing market estimates Bohemians's win probability at 47.4%, compared with the model's estimate of 37.6%, a difference of 9.8 percentage points. This highlights a disagreement between the model and market consensus, without 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 (Bohemians win 5–3).

Market Assessment

The market and model broadly agree on Bohemians. The remaining divergence may reflect differences in team-strength assumptions rather than a directional disagreement.

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

Post Match Insights

What failed

  • Both Teams To Score: model leaned BTTS No; match finished BTTS Yes
  • Over / Under 2.5: model leaned Under 2.5; match finished Over 2.5 (8 goals)

Market lesson

Large model–market gaps do not automatically mean the market is right. Here the closing market priced Bohemians higher (47.4% vs model 37.6%, 9.8 pp), but the model's lean was validated (Bohemians win 5–3).

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

Pre-match snapshot for this fixture.

  • League: Premier Division
  • Fixture: Bohemians vs Derry City
  • Kickoff: 2026-08-21 18:45:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 37.6% · Draw 31.0% · Away 31.4%
  • xG (showing): Bohemians 1.12 — Derry City 1.12 (total xG ≈ 2.24)
  • 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 Under 2.5 (Under 2.5 61.2% · Over 2.5 38.8%); BTTS No (Yes 47.1% · No 52.9%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Under 2.5; BTTS No
  • BTTS (model): Yes 47.1% · No 52.9%
  • Correct score (top bin): 1-1 (13.4%)

Saying “no value” on a snapshot is a feature, not a bug: it protects readers from forcing a play when the edge is not there.

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%).
