On paper this is one way traffic: the calibrated model makes Nottingham Forest heavy favourites at 57% when Nottingham Forest meet Coventry in the Premier League on 19 September 2026. The numbers that frame it: • Totals sit close to the fence: 51% for Over 2.5 with both teams to score at 52%. • Arnaud Kalimuendo Muinga drives the home shot volume, 1.2 on target per 90. • Team news worth noting: Nottingham Forest have Morato ruled out, Milenković ruled out, Jair Cunha a doubt, Savona ruled out. Recent form reads W1 D3 L2 for Nottingham Forest against W0 D0 L4 for Coventry. Coventry are newly promoted, a profile the model deliberately prices with caution. Verdict: no bet. No bookmaker price published for this match yet.
Value & higher-risk angles
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.

Recent shot volume
Shots taken and faced per game over each side’s last 6 matches, from real match data.
First half / second half shots
5.5 / 9.0
6.2 / 4.0
Shots taken before and after half-time, per game, over the games in brackets. The bar is the share taken in the first half. This is Understat shot data with the half-time split verified against the half-time score, counted separately from the match shot totals above, so the two can differ. A match where the split could not be verified is left out rather than guessed.

How this works (honestly)
We are transparent about our method, our limits and how we measure performance.
Results, odds & closing prices, xG, shots, lineups, referee and schedule load.
Dixon-Coles + an xG strength model + champion/challenger selection + probability calibration + a trust gate.
We do not beat the sharp market. The value is honest probabilities, No-bet calls and CLV.
Top-pick hit rate 47.7% (reliability, not edge). Calibration error 0.0096 (55405 matches).
