Model vs Closing Market

Strong Disagreement

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

Largest probability gap: SJK +32.6 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
SJK 61.3% 28.8% +32.6 pp Model Edge
Draw 18.2% 23.7% -5.4 pp Market Higher
HJK helsinki 20.4% 47.6% -27.2 pp Market Higher

The statistical model estimates SJK's win probability at 61.3%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 28.8%, a difference of 32.6 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 (SJK win 3–0).

Post Match Insights

What worked

  • Expected goals projected a high-scoring match (ΣxG 4.53) — 3 goals materialised
  • SJK attacking xG significantly stronger (2.85 vs 1.68)
  • Over 2.5 goals aligned with the xG profile

What failed

  • Both Teams To Score: model leaned BTTS Yes; match finished BTTS No
  • Exact score: outside the model's top score bins

Market lesson

Large model–market gaps do not automatically mean the market is right. Here the closing market priced SJK more conservatively (28.7% vs model 61.3%, 32.6 pp), but the model's lean was validated (SJK win 3–0).

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

Model favours SJK; market prices HJK helsinki instead — inputs may be missing or stale.

  • Model: SJK 2.85 xG vs HJK helsinki 1.68 → SJK 61.3%
  • Market: HJK helsinki ~28.8% implied
  • Validation failed — do not treat 1X2 EV as actionable.

Do not act on 1X2 value until validation passes. Structural leans (O/U, BTTS) need separate odds review.

Structural lean (model): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5 (Under 2.5 17.0% · Over 2.5 83.0%); BTTS Yes (Yes 77.3% · No 22.7%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5; BTTS Yes

Historical Recommendation

Historical Decision: Wait

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%).
