Model vs Closing Market

Moderate Disagreement

The closing market prices Levski Sofia higher than the statistical model.

Largest probability gap: Levski Sofia -7.2 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Levski Sofia 70.7% 77.9% -7.2 pp Market Higher
Draw 19.6% 14.3% +5.3 pp Model Higher
Septemvri Sofia 9.7% 7.8% +1.9 pp Aligned

The closing market estimates Levski Sofia's win probability at 77.9%, compared with the model's estimate of 70.7%, a difference of 7.2 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: PRE5.

After full time, the model's directional lean matched the result (Levski Sofia win 3–0).

Market Assessment

The market and model broadly agree on Levski Sofia. 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 worked

  • Expected goals projected a high-scoring match (ΣxG 3.02) — 3 goals materialised
  • Levski Sofia attacking xG significantly stronger (2.27 vs 0.75)
  • Both Teams To Score (No) matched the full-time result

Market lesson

Large model–market gaps do not automatically mean the market is right. Here the closing market priced Levski Sofia higher (77.9% vs model 70.7%, 7.2 pp), but the model's lean was validated (Levski Sofia 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

Quick read on how the model reads this matchup.

  • League: First League
  • Fixture: Levski Sofia vs Septemvri Sofia
  • Kickoff: 2026-08-01 16:00:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 70.8% · Draw 19.6% · Away 9.7%
  • xG (showing): Levski Sofia 2.27 — Septemvri Sofia 0.75 (total xG ≈ 3.02)
  • Value headline: None (actionable) — best tracked EV is about +0.6%, 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 41.9% · Over 2.5 58.1%); BTTS No (Yes 48.4% · No 51.6%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5; BTTS No
  • BTTS (model): Yes 48.4% · No 51.6%
  • Correct score (top bin): 2-0 (12.6%)

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%).
