Why the model disagrees with the market

The leading outcome: FK Železiarne Podbrezová 2+ goals

What the model's reading is made of

  • The model makes FK Železiarne Podbrezová 2+ goals 46.2%. The market, with the bookmaker's margin taken out, makes it 42.3%. The gap between the two is 3.9%.
  • Niké Liga (Slovakia) carries more home advantage than most: the baselines the fit reads put a home side's expected goals at 1.29 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 FK Železiarne Podbrezová and FC Spartak Trnava that the model does not use.

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.

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.
