Model vs Closing Market
| Outcome | Model | Closing Market | Difference | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ZOB Ahan | 37.1% | 31.5% | +5.6 pp | Model Higher |
| Draw | 29.6% | 33.9% | -4.2 pp | Aligned |
| Paykan | 33.3% | 34.6% | -1.3 pp | Aligned |
The statistical model estimates ZOB Ahan's win probability at 37.1%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 31.5%, a difference of 5.6 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 (ZOB Ahan win 1–0).
Market Assessment

Market lesson
Large model–market gaps do not automatically mean the market is right. Here the closing market priced ZOB Ahan more conservatively (31.5% vs model 37.1%, 5.6 pp), but the model's lean was validated (ZOB Ahan 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.
