Prediction correct
This verdict goes into the public record unchanged; we do not filter out the ones we get wrong. The model's track record
There's no card data for this referee from before this match yet. We don't invent an average; it will appear here once the data exists.
This is a prediction, not a guarantee; a probability is not a certainty.
These sentences are built by a fixed template; every number in them comes straight from the model's computation, none invented while the text was written.
When the model has said 40–45% in the past, 2,399 of 5,395 predictions were correct (44.5%). Accuracy record →
These three values add up to 200%, not 100% — and that is not a mistake. The options are not mutually exclusive; every outcome is counted in two of them. For the same reason 1X plus X2 exceeds 100% by exactly the probability of a draw (25.9%).
Expected goals comes out of a team's attack weighed against its opponent's defence. A strong attack is damped when it meets a strong defence — which is why comparing the ratings on their own is misleading.
Attack: Poland score above the league average (49% more).
Opponent's defence: Netherlands concede 33% below the league average — a defence that seriously brakes even a strong attack.
Attack: Netherlands score 95% more than the league's average team — one of the sharpest attacks in the league.
Opponent's defence: Poland concede 18% fewer than the league average, which pulls the expectation down.
Ratings were computed from 2928 matches played in this league before kick-off; the team with fewer has 52 matches. No data from after the match was used. The model's track record is published unfiltered.
