Model vs Closing Market

Outcome	Model	Closing Market	Difference	Signal
FC ST. Gallen	68.4%	58.5%	+9.9 pp	Model Higher
Draw	18.6%	22.0%	-3.3 pp	Aligned
FC Zurich	12.9%	19.5%	-6.6 pp	Market Higher

The statistical model estimates FC ST. Gallen's win probability at 68.4%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 58.5%, a difference of 9.9 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 (FC ST. Gallen win 2–1).

Market Assessment

The fair estimate shows a modest edge over current market pricing on FC ST. Gallen.

Monitor line movement before kickoff — not a betting recommendation.

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: Super League
Fixture: FC St. Gallen vs FC Zürich
Kickoff: 2026-07-26 14:30:00
1X2 (model): Home 45.0% · Draw 45.0% · Away 10.0%
xG (showing): FC St. Gallen 2.7 — FC Zürich 1.0 (total xG ≈ 3.7)
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

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.

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%).
