Model vs Closing Market

Outcome	Model	Closing Market	Difference	Signal
FC Zurich	22.3%	19.2%	+3.0 pp	Aligned
Draw	23.4%	18.8%	+4.6 pp	Aligned
BSC Young Boys	54.3%	61.9%	-7.7 pp	Market Higher

The closing market estimates BSC Young Boys's win probability at 61.9%, compared with the model's estimate of 54.3%, a difference of 7.7 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 (BSC Young Boys win 2–4).

Market Assessment

The market and model broadly agree on BSC Young Boys. 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 3.16) — 6 goals materialised
BSC Young Boys attacking xG significantly stronger (1.91 vs 1.25)
Both Teams To Score (Yes) matched the full-time result

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 BSC Young Boys higher (61.9% vs model 54.3%, 7.7 pp), but the model's lean was validated (BSC Young Boys win 2–4).

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: Super League
Fixture: FC Zurich vs BSC Young Boys
Kickoff: 2026-09-01 18:30:00
1X2 (model): Home 22.2% · Draw 23.4% · Away 54.3%
xG (showing): FC Zurich 1.25 — BSC Young Boys 1.91 (total xG ≈ 3.16)
Value headline: None (actionable) — best tracked EV is about +1.0%, 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 38.8% · Over 2.5 61.2%); BTTS Yes (Yes 62.1% · No 37.9%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5; BTTS Yes
BTTS (model): Yes 62.1% · No 37.9%
Correct score (top bin): 1-1 (10.1%)

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.

Prefer skipping to over-staking when the engine is honest about missing edge.

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%).
