Model read

On paper this is one way traffic: the calibrated model makes Rodez heavy favourites at 56% when Rodez meet Pau FC in the Ligue 2 on 28 August 2026. Three things stand out in the data: 1) The market broadly agrees, pricing Rodez at 57%. 2) The goals profile is lively: Over 2.5 sits at 60% with both teams to score at 59%. 3) History adds colour: across the last 5 meetings it is 3 wins for Rodez, 1 draws and 1 for Pau FC at 3.6 goals per match. Form guide over the last six: Rodez W4 D1 L1, Pau FC W1 D0 L5. The engine passes on this one (value_gap +0.021 <= 0.03).

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.
