Model read

Few Premier League fixtures are this lopsided in the data: Manchester United carry a 57% win probability against Tottenham on 10 October 2026. Totals sit close to the fence: 56% for Over 2.5 with both teams to score at 56%. The run in: Manchester United arrive W2 D2 L2, Tottenham W1 D2 L3. Head to head, the last 5 meetings gave 1 wins for Manchester United, 2 draws and 2 for Tottenham, averaging 2.8 goals a game. For shots markets, Benjamin Sesko is the obvious watch at 1.5 on target per 90 in recent data. Team news worth noting: Manchester United have Darlow a doubt, Bayindir ruled out, Heaton ruled out, De Ligt ruled out. The engine passes on this one (no bookmaker price published for this match yet).

Value & higher-risk angles

Outcomes the model rates higher than the obvious price suggests, plus a few long-shot scorelines that are simply possible. These are the least likely calls on the page, so treat them as such. They are not tips, and we do not beat the sharp bookmakers.

Shots taken and faced per game over each side’s last 6 matches, from real match data.

First half / second half shots

Shots before and after the break, per game, across the number of games in brackets. The bar shows how much of the shooting happens in the first half. These come from a different source than the match shot totals above, and we only count a match when the shots before the break add up to the actual half-time score. A match where they did not is left out rather than guessed at, which is why the two sets of numbers can differ.

Share of the squad’s total expected goal involvement (xG + xA) this season. It is a measure of what the team is missing, not a prediction of the result: we do not publish a re-run win probability, because estimating who replaces him is a model change that has to be validated first.

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 0.0097 (55560 matches).

More: Manchester United predictions · Tottenham predictions · Premier League

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.
