Model read

"36% on Crawley Town is a measurement, not a promise." The probabilities barely separate Rochdale and Crawley Town on 22 August 2026: Crawley Town nose ahead at 36%. Notably, the model is warmer on Crawley Town than the market (22%). We flag disagreement rather than hide it. The model expects a tight, grinding game, just 43% on Over 2.5 with both teams to score at 49%. History adds colour: across the last 4 meetings it is 0 wins for Rochdale, 1 draws and 3 for Crawley Town at 1.5 goals per match. As a promoted side, Rochdale carry exactly the structural uncertainty our priors were built for. Recent form reads W1 D2 L3 for Rochdale against W0 D3 L3 for Crawley Town. Discipline says sit it out: too extreme an outsider (fair 0.22).

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).
