Model vs Closing Market

Strong Disagreement

The closing market prices Burgan higher than the statistical model.

Largest probability gap: Burgan -25.9 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Sporty 24.0% 10.0% +14.0 pp Model Edge
Draw 27.0% 15.1% +11.9 pp Model Edge
Burgan 49.0% 74.9% -25.9 pp Market Higher

The closing market estimates Burgan's win probability at 74.9%, compared with the model's estimate of 49.0%, a difference of 25.9 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 (Burgan win 2–4).

Post Match Insights

What worked

  • Expected goals projected a high-scoring match (ΣxG 2.80) — 6 goals materialised
  • Both Teams To Score (Yes) matched the full-time result
  • Over 2.5 goals aligned with the xG profile

What failed

  • 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 Burgan higher (74.9% vs model 49.0%, 25.9 pp), but the model's lean was validated (Burgan win 2–4).

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

Quick read on how the model reads this matchup.

  • League: Division 1
  • Fixture: Sporty vs Burgan
  • Kickoff: 2026-08-20 17:10:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 24.0% · Draw 27.0% · Away 49.0%
  • xG (showing): Sporty 1.25 — Burgan 1.55 (total xG ≈ 2.8)
  • Value headline: At least one tracked line reaches the headline EV threshold — align with the hero / Primary card if shown.
  • Structural leans (not bets): Structural lean (model): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5 (Under 2.5 46.9% · Over 2.5 53.0%); BTTS Yes (Yes 57.7% · No 42.3%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Over 2.5; BTTS Yes
  • BTTS (model): Yes 57.7% · No 42.3%
  • Correct score (top bin): 1-1 (11.8%)

When book depth is thin or odds are missing, EV may be unavailable even though the model still prefers one side on totals or BTTS — wait for cleaner prices or skip.

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

Historical Recommendation

Historical Decision: Wait

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%).
