Model vs Closing Market

Outcome	Model	Closing Market	Difference	Signal
Motherwell	58.3%	44.2%	+14.1 pp	Model Edge
Draw	20.5%	26.9%	-6.4 pp	Market Higher
Dundee Utd	21.1%	28.9%	-7.8 pp	Market Higher

The statistical model estimates Motherwell's win probability at 58.3%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 44.2%, a difference of 14.1 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 (Motherwell win 3–0).

Market Assessment

The statistical fair estimate is materially higher than the market on Motherwell.

The model may see a slower-scoring or closer matchup than the market.
Monitor line movement before kickoff — not a betting recommendation.

Post Match Insights

What worked

Expected goals projected a high-scoring match (ΣxG 3.95) — 3 goals materialised
Motherwell attacking xG significantly stronger (2.47 vs 1.48)
Over 2.5 goals aligned with the xG profile

What failed

Both Teams To Score: model leaned BTTS Yes; match finished BTTS No
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 Motherwell more conservatively (44.2% vs model 58.3%, 14.1 pp), but the model's lean was validated (Motherwell win 3–0).

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

Pre-match snapshot for this fixture.

League: Premiership
Fixture: Motherwell vs Dundee Utd
Kickoff: 2026-09-02 18:45:00
1X2 (model): Home 58.4% · Draw 20.5% · Away 21.1%
xG (showing): Motherwell 2.47 — Dundee Utd 1.48 (total xG ≈ 3.95)
Best +EV line (same label as hero card when Primary thresholds are not met): Motherwell
Model: 58.4% · Implied: 44.2% · Probability edge: +14.2 pts · Est. EV: +7.8%
BTTS (model): Yes 71.6% · No 28.4%
Correct score (top bin): 2-1 (8.7%)

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.

1X2 can look balanced even when side markets show clearer structure.

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%).
