Model read

Little between these two in the data. Crystal Palace at 38% is as close to a call as the model will offer for 11 October 2026. The numbers that frame it: • Totals sit close to the fence: 48% for Over 2.5 with both teams to score at 54%. • For shots markets, Eddie Nketiah is the obvious watch at 1.4 on target per 90 in recent data. • The run in: Crystal Palace arrive W1 D1 L4, Nottingham Forest W1 D3 L2. On the availability front, Crystal Palace have Disasi suspended, Henderson ruled out, Sosa ruled out, Chadi Riad ruled out. The recent series reads 0 wins for Crystal Palace, 4 draws and 1 for Nottingham Forest over 5 games, 1.8 goals on average. Discipline says sit it out: 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 It is a measure of what the team is missing, not a prediction of the result: we do not publish a re-run win probability, because estimating who replaces him is a model change that has to be validated first.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).
