Model read

The model leans St Etienne at 49% when Dunkerque host St Etienne in the Ligue 2 on 12 September 2026. A lean, though, not a lock. Three angles decide this preview: 1) Worth knowing: bookmakers rate St Etienne higher (53%) than our model does. 2) No strong lean on goals (58% Over 2.5). The interest, if any, lives elsewhere. 3) History adds colour: across the last 4 meetings it is 2 wins for Dunkerque, 0 draws and 2 for St Etienne at 1.8 goals per match. Form guide over the last six: Dunkerque W1 D2 L3, St Etienne W6 D0 L0. Discipline says sit it out: conservative EV -0.042 <= 0.

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.
