Model read

On paper this is one way traffic: the calibrated model makes PSV Eindhoven heavy favourites at 53% when Excelsior meet PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie on 15 August 2026. The numbers that frame it: • Worth knowing: bookmakers rate PSV Eindhoven higher (62%) than our model does. • Everything in the shot data points to goals, 71% for Over 2.5 with both teams to score at 69%. • Recent form reads W4 D2 L0 for Excelsior against W4 D2 L0 for PSV Eindhoven. • History adds colour: across the last 5 meetings it is 0 wins for Excelsior, 0 draws and 5 for PSV Eindhoven at 3.8 goals per match. Verdict: no bet. Too extreme an outsider (fair 0.17).

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.
