Why the model disagrees with the market

The leading outcome: Casa Pia to win

What the model's reading is made of

  • The model makes Casa Pia to win 23.4%. The market, with the bookmaker's margin taken out, makes it 20.7%. The gap between the two is 2.8%.
  • Liga Portugal carries more home advantage than most: the baselines the fit reads put a home side's expected goals at 1.24 times an away side's, against a median of 1.22 across the competitions the model fits.

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 Casa Pia and Santa Clara that the model does not use.

How value is calculated

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.

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.
