Model vs Closing Market

Strong Disagreement

The closing market prices Celtic higher than the statistical model.

Largest probability gap: Celtic -14.9 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Celtic 68.9% 83.8% -14.9 pp Market Higher
Draw 18.8% 10.3% +8.5 pp Model Higher
Dundee 12.2% 5.9% +6.4 pp Model Higher

The closing market estimates Celtic's win probability at 83.8%, compared with the model's estimate of 68.9%, a difference of 14.9 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 (Celtic win 1–0).

Market Assessment

The market is materially more optimistic about Celtic than the current fair estimate.

  • Investors may be incorporating information not fully reflected in the baseline model.
  • Tournament-specific context can shift market pricing.

Post Match Insights

What worked

  • Celtic attacking xG significantly stronger (2.15 vs 0.96)
  • Exact score 1–0 fell within the model's highlighted bins

What failed

  • Both Teams To Score: model leaned BTTS Yes; match finished BTTS No
  • Over / Under 2.5: model leaned Over 2.5; match finished Under 2.5 (1 goals)

Market lesson

Large model–market gaps do not automatically mean the market is right. Here the closing market priced Celtic higher (83.8% vs model 68.9%, 14.9 pp), but the model's lean was validated (Celtic win 1–0).

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 Summary

Quick read on how the model reads this matchup.

  • League: Premiership
  • Fixture: Celtic vs Dundee
  • Kickoff: 2026-08-03 18:30:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 68.9% · Draw 18.8% · Away 12.2%
  • xG (showing): Celtic 2.15 — Dundee 0.96 (total xG ≈ 3.11)

  • BTTS (model): Yes 55.7% · No 44.3%
  • Correct score (top bin): 2-0 (10.3%)

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.

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

Historical Recommendation

Historical Decision: Monitor

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%).
