Model vs Closing Market

Outcome	Model	Closing Market	Difference	Signal
Santa Cruz	33.3%	47.5%	-14.2 pp	Market Higher
Draw	29.6%	29.2%	+0.5 pp	Aligned
Figueirense	37.1%	23.4%	+13.7 pp	Model Edge

The closing market estimates Santa Cruz's win probability at 47.5%, compared with the model's estimate of 33.3%, a difference of 14.2 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 (Figueirense win 0–1).

Market Assessment

The market is materially more optimistic about Santa Cruz than the current fair estimate.

Investors may be incorporating information not fully reflected in the baseline model.

Market lesson

Large model–market gaps do not automatically mean the market is right. Here the closing market priced Figueirense higher (51.2% vs model 37.1%, 14.2 pp), but the model's lean was validated (Figueirense win 0–1).

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: Campeonato Brasileiro Série C
Fixture: Santa Cruz vs Figueirense
Kickoff: 2026-07-25 20:00:00
1X2 (model): Home 45.0% · Draw 45.0% · Away 10.0%
xG (showing): Santa Cruz 1.26 — Figueirense 1.34 (total xG ≈ 2.6)
Value headline: None — no positive EV could be estimated on tracked lines at current best prices (missing odds or thin book depth).
Structural leans (not bets): See the Over/Under and BTTS cards for any directional lean text.
BTTS (model): Yes N/A · No N/A
Correct score (top bin): N/A

The decision block shows no default Primary: Primary needs consensus EV ≥ +5.0% plus strength/reliability/calibration gates. A separate Lean/tracked gate is +2.0% (selective only). Lean labels are directional only — not bankroll-sized recommendations.

If lines move materially, re-run generation or refresh — implied probabilities and any future EV readouts will change first.

Historical Recommendation

Historical Decision: Monitor

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%).
