Why the model disagrees with the market

The leading outcome: KRC Genk at most 1 goal

What the model's reading is made of

  • The fit has seen one of these two sides in only 7 matches. Everything behind this edge rests on that, which is too little to set out as a reason.

These are the parts of the model's own number, not an account of the bookmaker's. The fit reads two ratings a side, the competition's average home and away expected goals, the window it looks back over and how many matches it found in it — and nothing else is a reason this page can give.

What the model did not read

Readings for KRC Genk and KV Kortrijk that the model does not use.
Reading KRC Genk KV Kortrijk
Form — xG difference, the last 6 matches +0.81 -0.59
Goals scored minus expected +0.56 -4.90
Points won minus expected -2.51 -3.09

All of this is in the database and none of it entered the fit. A reading here may point the other way from every line above it — where it does, both are true, and only one of them is in the model.

Value is probability × odds − 1 — it pays on average and over the long run, not necessarily in this match. The model knows nothing of absences, motivation or the schedule.

Nothing you type is remembered.

Warnings

  • KV Kortrijk has only 7 matches in the database. Below 10 matches the estimate is very unreliable.

Limitations

The model reads expected goals and nothing else. It does not know the lineups, who is injured or suspended, what either side has to play for, the weather, or how congested the schedule around this match is.
