Model vs Closing Market

Moderate Disagreement

The model rates Wisla Krakow considerably stronger than the closing betting market.

Largest probability gap: Wisla Krakow +9.2 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Gornik Zabrze 37.1% 45.8% -8.6 pp Market Higher
Draw 25.7% 26.3% -0.5 pp Aligned
Wisla Krakow 37.1% 27.9% +9.2 pp Model Higher

The statistical model estimates Wisla Krakow's win probability at 37.1%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 27.9%, a difference of 9.2 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 (Gornik Zabrze win 2–1).

Market Assessment

The fair estimate shows a modest edge over current market pricing on Wisla Krakow.

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

Post Match Insights

What worked

  • Both Teams To Score (Yes) matched the full-time result
  • Over 2.5 goals aligned with the xG profile

Market lesson

Large model–market gaps do not automatically mean the market is right. Here the closing market priced Gornik Zabrze more conservatively (27.9% vs model 37.1%, 9.2 pp), but the model's lean was validated (Gornik Zabrze win 2–1).

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: Ekstraklasa
  • Fixture: Gornik Zabrze vs Wisla Krakow
  • Kickoff: 2026-08-16 18:15:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 37.1% · Draw 25.7% · Away 37.1%
  • xG (showing): Gornik Zabrze 1.63 — Wisla Krakow 1.72 (total xG ≈ 3.35)
  • 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 Over 2.5 (Under 2.5 34.9% · Over 2.5 65.0%); BTTS Yes (Yes 67.3% · No 32.7%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5; BTTS Yes
  • BTTS (model): Yes 67.3% · No 32.7%
  • Correct score (top bin): 1-1 (9.8%)

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.

Most likely correct score stays a low-probability tail: use it for context, not as a must-bet story.

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%).
