Model vs Closing Market

Moderate Disagreement

The closing market prices Rot-Weiß Essen higher than the statistical model.

Largest probability gap: Rot-Weiß Essen -7.7 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Rot-Weiß Essen 44.2% 51.9% -7.7 pp Market Higher
Draw 26.2% 21.3% +4.9 pp Aligned
FC Viktoria Köln 29.6% 26.8% +2.8 pp Aligned

The closing market estimates Rot-Weiß Essen's win probability at 51.9%, compared with the model's estimate of 44.2%, a difference of 7.7 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 (Rot-Weiß Essen win 1–0).

Market Assessment

The market and model broadly agree on Rot-Weiß Essen. The remaining divergence may reflect differences in team-strength assumptions rather than a directional disagreement.

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

Post Match Insights

What worked

  • 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 Rot-Weiß Essen higher (51.9% vs model 44.2%, 7.7 pp), but the model's lean was validated (Rot-Weiß Essen 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 briefing

AI Match Summary

Below is a compact, numbers-first snapshot aligned with the same engine as the cards above.

  • League: 3. Liga
  • Fixture: Rot-Weiß Essen vs FC Viktoria Köln
  • Kickoff: 2026-09-05 14:30:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 44.2% · Draw 26.2% · Away 29.6%
  • xG (showing): Rot-Weiß Essen 1.73 — FC Viktoria Köln 1.39 (total xG ≈ 3.12)
  • Value headline: None — no positive EV on tracked lines at current best prices (same as the decision block: no default bet).
  • Structural leans (not bets): Structural lean (model): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5 (Under 2.5 39.7% · Over 2.5 60.3%); BTTS Yes (Yes 63.2% · No 36.8%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5; BTTS Yes
  • BTTS (model): Yes 63.2% · No 36.8%
  • Correct score (top bin): 1-1 (10.6%)

The decision block shows no default Primary: Primary needs consensus EV ≥ +5.0% plus strength/reliability/calibration gates. A separate Lean/tracked gate is +2.0% (selective only). Lean labels are directional only — not bankroll-sized recommendations.

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: 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%).
