Model vs Closing Market

The closing market prices Maccabi Tel Aviv higher than the statistical model.

Largest probability gap: Maccabi Tel Aviv -22.4 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Maccabi Tel Aviv 34.0% 56.5% -22.4 pp Market Higher

Maccabi Haifa 32.0% 21.3% +10.7 pp Model Edge

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 (Maccabi Tel Aviv win 3–1).

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: Ligat Ha'al
  • Fixture: Maccabi Tel Aviv vs Maccabi Haifa
  • Kickoff: 2026-08-31 17:30:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 34.0% · Draw 34.0% · Away 32.0%
  • xG (showing): Maccabi Tel Aviv 1.04 — Maccabi Haifa 1.0 (total xG ≈ 2.04)
  • 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 66.6% · Over 2.5 33.4%); BTTS No (Yes 42.6% · No 57.4%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Under 2.5; BTTS No
  • BTTS (model): Yes 42.6% · No 57.4%
  • Correct score (top bin): 1-0 (13.5%)

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: 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%).
