Model read

"Clermont or Sochaux? We publish probabilities, not certainties." The model leans Clermont at 46% when Clermont host Sochaux in the Ligue 2 on 28 August 2026. A lean, though, not a lock. Our number sits above the market's 37% for Clermont. The gap itself is information. This shapes as a low scoring affair: Over 2.5 is only 42% with both teams to score at 47%. The run in: Clermont arrive W2 D3 L1, Sochaux W1 D1 L4. Sochaux are newly promoted, a profile the model deliberately prices with caution. The recent series reads 2 wins for Clermont, 1 draws and 2 for Sochaux over 5 games, 2.6 goals on average. The engine passes on this one (trust gate: NO_TRUST (segment historically unreliable)).

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.
