Model read

"When model and market disagree on St Etienne, that gap is the story." On paper this is one way traffic: the calibrated model makes St Etienne heavy favourites at 60% when Dijon meet St Etienne in the Ligue 2 on 31 August 2026. Notably, the model is warmer on St Etienne than the market (51%). We flag disagreement rather than hide it. Totals sit close to the fence: 52% for Over 2.5 with both teams to score at 50%. Dijon are newly promoted, a profile the model deliberately prices with caution. The recent series reads 1 wins for Dijon, 0 draws and 1 for St Etienne over 2 games, 2.5 goals on average. Form guide over the last six: Dijon W1 D3 L2, St Etienne W4 D0 L2. Discipline says sit it out: 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).

More: Dijon predictions · St Etienne predictions · Ligue 2

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.
