Model vs Closing Market

Strong Disagreement

The closing market prices Fortaleza FC higher than the statistical model.

Largest probability gap: Fortaleza FC -24.8 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Fortaleza FC 33.8% 58.6% -24.8 pp Market Higher
Draw 32.9% 26.0% +6.9 pp Model Higher
Cucuta 33.3% 15.4% +17.9 pp Model Edge

The closing market estimates Fortaleza FC's win probability at 58.6%, compared with the model's estimate of 33.8%, a difference of 24.8 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 (Fortaleza FC win 2–0).

Post Match Insights

What worked

  • Low-scoring profile materialised (ΣxG 2.17, 2 goals)
  • Both Teams To Score (No) matched the full-time result
  • Under 2.5 goals aligned with the xG profile

What failed

  • 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 Fortaleza FC higher (58.6% vs model 33.8%, 24.8 pp), but the model's lean was validated (Fortaleza FC 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

Pre-match snapshot for this fixture.

  • League: Primera A
  • Fixture: Fortaleza FC vs Cucuta
  • Kickoff: 2026-08-08 21:20:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 33.8% · Draw 32.9% · Away 33.3%
  • xG (showing): Fortaleza FC 1.09 — Cucuta 1.08 (total xG ≈ 2.17)
  • 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 63.1% · Over 2.5 36.9%); BTTS No (Yes 45.6% · No 54.4%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Under 2.5; BTTS No
  • BTTS (model): Yes 45.6% · No 54.4%
  • Correct score (top bin): 1-1 (13.4%)

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: 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%).
