Model vs Closing Market

Moderate Disagreement

The model rates Sport Boys considerably stronger than the closing betting market.

Largest probability gap: Sport Boys +7.5 pp

Outcome Model Closing Market Difference Signal
Sport Boys 50.9% 43.4% +7.5 pp Model Higher
Draw 29.0% 29.0% +0.0 pp Aligned
Cienciano 20.1% 27.6% -7.5 pp Market Higher

The statistical model estimates Sport Boys's win probability at 50.9%, compared with the closing market's implied probability of 43.4%, a difference of 7.5 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 (Sport Boys win 5–1).

Market Assessment

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

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

Post Match Insights

What worked

  • Sport Boys attacking xG significantly stronger (1.55 vs 0.78)

What failed

  • Both Teams To Score: model leaned BTTS No; match finished BTTS Yes
  • Over / Under 2.5: model leaned Under 2.5; match finished Over 2.5 (6 goals)

Market lesson

Large model–market gaps do not automatically mean the market is right. Here the closing market priced Sport Boys more conservatively (43.4% vs model 50.9%, 7.5 pp), but the model's lean was validated (Sport Boys win 5–1).

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: Primera División
  • Fixture: Sport Boys vs Cienciano
  • Kickoff: 2026-08-23 18:00:00
  • 1X2 (model): Home 51.0% · Draw 29.0% · Away 20.1%
  • xG (showing): Sport Boys 1.55 — Cienciano 0.78 (total xG ≈ 2.33)
  • 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 Under 2.5 (Under 2.5 58.8% · Over 2.5 41.2%); BTTS No (Yes 44.2% · No 55.8%) Value lean (pricing): O/U 2.5 Under 2.5; BTTS No
  • BTTS (model): Yes 44.2% · No 55.8%
  • Correct score (top bin): 1-0 (15.1%)

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.

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

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%).
