Where the model and the bookmakers disagree
A gap of five points or more between our probability and the de-vigged market price is where a prediction becomes interesting. 5 games clear that bar today.
| Match | Pick | Model | Market | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Independiente Santa Fe v Jaguares de Córdoba | Santa Fe | 84.3% | 74.4% | +9.9 |
| Atlético Junior v Deportivo Pereira | Atl. Junior | 86.5% | 76.7% | +9.8 |
| Real Betis v FC Porto | Betis | 38.1% | 47.6% | -9.5 |
| Shakhtar Donetsk v AEK Athens | AEK Athens | 45.1% | 37.7% | +7.4 |
| Sarmiento (Junín) v River Plate | River Plate | 60.5% | 54.9% | +5.6 |
A positive gap means the model is more confident than the market, which over a season is where the edge, if any, has to come from. A negative gap is a favourite the model likes less than the bookmakers do.

How to read these numbers
Every probability is the output of a Dixon-Coles goals model blended with Elo ratings and bookmaker prices where they exist, with a form and record model for the American leagues. A 55% favourite loses almost half the time, so the percentages are the point, not the pick. Every call is locked before kick-off and scored publicly on the track record page once the result is in.
