Model vs Closing Market

Strong Disagreement

The model rates Yokohama F. Marinos considerably stronger than the closing betting market.

Largest probability gap: Yokohama F. Marinos +25.5 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Urawa 19.8% 44.7% -25.0 pp Market Higher
Draw 26.2% 26.8% -0.5 pp Aligned
Yokohama F. Marinos 54.0% 28.5% +25.5 pp Model Edge

The statistical model estimates Yokohama F. Marinos's win probability at 54.0%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 28.5%, a difference of 25.5 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 result was Urawa win 3–2.

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: J1 League
  • Fixture: Urawa vs Yokohama F. Marinos
  • Kickoff: 2026-08-29 10:00:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 19.8% · Draw 26.2% · Away 54.0%
  • xG (showing): Urawa 1.0 — Yokohama F. Marinos 1.77 (total xG ≈ 2.77)
  • Best +EV line (same label as hero card when Primary thresholds are not met): Yokohama F. Marinos
  • Model: 54.0% · Implied: 28.5% · Probability edge: +25.5 pts · Est. EV: +12.6%
  • BTTS (model): Yes 53.9% · No 46.1%
  • Correct score (top bin): 0-1 (11.1%)

Where EV is shown, it is estimated return per unit stake at the best tracked decimal price — not the same thing as a raw probability gap.

Early match state can move realised goals away from pre-kick projections.

Historical Recommendation

Historical Decision: Wait

Outcome: Missed — Pre-match 1X2 lean did not match 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%).
