Model read

On paper this is one way traffic: the calibrated model makes PSV Eindhoven heavy favourites at 64% when PSV Eindhoven meet Groningen in the Eredivisie on 23 August 2026. The market is more convinced than we are, pricing PSV Eindhoven at 71%. Caution noted. Everything in the shot data points to goals, 71% for Over 2.5 with both teams to score at 65%. History adds colour: across the last 5 meetings it is 5 wins for PSV Eindhoven, 0 draws and 0 for Groningen at 4.8 goals per match. The run in: PSV Eindhoven arrive W4 D2 L0, Groningen W4 D0 L2. Verdict: no bet. Too extreme an outsider (fair 0.10).

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.
