About these predictions

This page is the model's daily shortlist — the fixtures where a calibrated probability clears our confidence threshold for a given market, across every competition we cover. It isn't a tip sheet of hunches. Each prediction is a model probability, shown alongside the bookmaker's odds (model vs market) and a confidence rating, so you can see why a fixture made the slate rather than just being told to back it.

Markets we cover

We publish the markets people actually follow, each as its own calibrated probability:

  • Match result— home win, draw or away win, summing to 100%.
  • Double chance— home or draw (1X) and away or draw (X2), the safer two-of-three result cover.
  • Both teams to score— whether each side scores at least once. The dedicated BTTS page lists these on their own.
  • Over / under goals— the 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 total-goals lines.

How the predictions are generated

Two Poisson regressors estimate each team's expected goals from recent venue-specific form, Elo ratings, rest days, head-to-head history and recency-weighted shot and expected-goals data. Those feed a joint scoreline distribution with a Dixon-Coles correction, from which the goal and BTTS markets are read off; the three-way result comes from a separate multinomial classifier that uses the same inputs plus the Poisson outputs. Every market then passes through an isotonic calibration step so the published numbers match real-world frequencies. The full pipeline is on the methodology page.

How to read confidence and model vs market

Each tip shows the model's probability, the current bookmaker odds, and a confidence rating reflecting how far that probability clears the market's threshold. “Model vs market” is a sanity check, not a value claim — the market is a strong baseline, and our models are built to useprices as context rather than to be second-guessed against them. Precise percentages are shown for signed-in users; everyone can see which fixtures qualified and how each market has performed over the recent past. These are probabilities, not certainties — even a 75% pick loses one time in four.

Frequently asked questions

Are these football predictions free?
Yes. The daily slate is free and updated every day. A free account unlocks the exact model probabilities and confidence ratings on each fixture; the public view shows which fixtures qualified and how each market has performed recently.
What markets do you predict?
Match result (home win, draw, away win), double chance (home or draw, away or draw), both teams to score, and over/under 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 goals. Each is a separately calibrated probability rather than a single combined rating.
What does “model vs market” mean?
It compares the model's probability for a fixture with the probability implied by the bookmaker's odds. It's a sanity check and a way to see where the model and the market disagree — not a signal to bet purely because they differ. We tested an explicit model-beats-market value selection and retired it: on our data the market price out-predicted the model on exactly the fixtures where the model deviated most, so disagreement was mostly model error, not edge.
How is the confidence rating calculated?
Confidence reflects how far a fixture's calibrated probability clears the on-page threshold for its market. A pick that only just qualifies scores lower than one well above the line. It's a margin-of-safety indicator, not a separate prediction.
How often is the slate updated?
Daily. Predictions are published ahead of each day's fixtures, and once a match finishes its row settles to won or lost with a tick or cross. Use the date pills to move between recent days and tomorrow.
Do you guarantee winning predictions?
No. These are calibrated probabilities, not certainties — a fixture shown at 70% is still expected to lose about three times in ten, and that's the model working as intended. We publish a rolling track record so the calibration is checkable rather than asking you to take it on faith. Please gamble responsibly.
