Model read

The probabilities barely separate Crawley Town and Cheltenham on 12 September 2026: Crawley Town nose ahead at 41%. Three things stand out in the data: 1) Market and model are aligned here; the fair price says 39%. 2) Totals sit close to the fence: 53% for Over 2.5 with both teams to score at 57%. 3) Recent form reads W1 D2 L3 for Crawley Town against W2 D2 L2 for Cheltenham. History adds colour: across the last 5 meetings it is 3 wins for Crawley Town, 0 draws and 2 for Cheltenham at 1.8 goals per match. The engine passes on this one (value_gap +0.017 <= 0.03).

Lower-probability calls our model rates above the obvious price; random finds are high-return scorelines that can happen. Higher risk, not a tip; we never beat the sharp market.

How this works (honestly)

We are transparent about our method, our limits and how we measure performance.

What we use

Results, odds & closing prices, xG, shots, lineups, referee and schedule load.

Our method

Dixon-Coles + an xG strength model + champion/challenger selection + probability calibration + a trust gate.

What we don’t do

We do not beat the sharp market. The value is honest probabilities, No-bet calls and CLV.

Performance snapshot

Top-pick hit rate 47.7% (reliability, not edge). Calibration error 0.0095 (55261 matches).

Not financial advice. No model beats the sharp closing market on public data. The value here is honest probabilities, No-bet calls, and CLV history.
