Model prediction

Why this prediction?

The model puts the most likely outcome at 67.0%: “Pafos to win”. Second comes “a draw” at 22.1%.
Behind that distribution are the expected goals: 0.65 for Krasava Ypsonas, 1.86 for Pafos.
The highest double chance value is 89.1% (X2 — draw or Pafos win).
These values were computed from 713 past matches.

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.

12 — not level at half-time58.5%

X2 — level or Pafos ahead90.1%

These values are not a fraction of the full-match prediction; they come from a separate model trained on the first-half scores of 712 matches. Its edge over the base rate is markedly smaller than the full-match model's — the measured figure is on the accuracy record. Read them more cautiously. First-half goal markets are not published because they failed to beat the base rate.

Expected fouls and corners

Fouls

Krasava Ypsonas: at least 11
Pafos: at least 14

Corners

Krasava Ypsonas: at least 4
Pafos: at least 4

These figures are set to hold in at least 60% of matches; in the rest the count comes in below them. No upper bound is stated — we make no "at most" claim. Yellow cards were measured and are not published: there our model did not beat the historical average.

What these probabilities rest on

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.

How many goals Krasava Ypsonas score0.65

Attack: Krasava Ypsonas score below the league average (29% fewer).

Opponent's defence: Pafos concede 44% below the league average — a defence that seriously brakes even a strong attack.

Result: These two effects give an expectation of 0.65 goals (including home advantage).

How many goals Pafos score1.86

Attack: Pafos score above the league average (39% more).

Opponent's defence: Krasava Ypsonas's defence is close to the league average (1.14×), so it doesn't move the expectation much.

Result: These two effects give an expectation of 1.86 goals (including the away penalty).

Most likely scorelines

0–214.6%0–114.6%1–111.0%

A single scoreline is always less likely than an outcome: “home win” is the sum of 1-0, 2-0, 2-1 and dozens more. So the most likely single score can be a draw while the most likely outcome is a home win; the two do not contradict each other.
