Tracked markets vs full-time result

Prediction grade C

Each row compares the pre-match model lean to the full-time result.

  • Market Prediction Result Outcome
  • Over / Under 2.5 Over 2.5 Over 2.5 (4 goals) ✔ Correct
  • Both Teams To Score BTTS Yes Yes ✔ Correct
  • 1X2 FCSB Draw ✖ Incorrect
  • Correct Score Insights 2-1, 2-0, 3-1, 1-1, 3-0 2-2 ✖ Incorrect

Model vs Closing Market

Moderate Disagreement

The model rates FCSB considerably stronger than the closing betting market.

Largest probability gap: FCSB +7.3 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
FCSB 66.7% 59.5% +7.3 pp Model Higher
Draw 19.1% 21.9% -2.8 pp Aligned
Farul Constanta 14.2% 18.7% -4.5 pp Aligned

The statistical model estimates FCSB's win probability at 66.7%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 59.5%, a difference of 7.3 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 Draw 2–2.

Market Assessment

The fair estimate shows a modest edge over current market pricing on FCSB.

  • Monitor line movement before kickoff — not a betting recommendation.

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

Pre-match snapshot for this fixture.

  • League: Liga I
  • Fixture: FCSB vs Farul Constanta
  • Kickoff: 2026-08-03 18:30:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 66.7% · Draw 19.1% · Away 14.2%
  • xG (showing): FCSB 2.54 — Farul Constanta 1.14 (total xG ≈ 3.68)
  • Value headline: None (actionable) — best tracked EV is about +1.4%, 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 28.9% · Over 2.5 71.1%); BTTS Yes (Yes 63.6% · No 36.4%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5; BTTS Yes
  • BTTS (model): Yes 63.6% · No 36.4%
  • Correct score (top bin): 2-1 (9.3%)

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.

If lines move materially, re-run generation or refresh — implied probabilities and any future EV readouts will change first.

Historical Recommendation

Historical Decision: No Primary Bet

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%).
