Model read

Our engine prices Schalke 04 at 46% for 20 September 2026. Favourites, yes; certainties, no. Three things stand out in the data: 1) Everything in the shot data points to goals, 61% for Over 2.5 with both teams to score at 63%. 2) Schalke 04 are newly promoted, a profile the model deliberately prices with caution. 3) For shots markets, Junior Adamu is the obvious watch at 0.7 on target per 90 in recent data. Recent form reads W1 D2 L3 for Schalke 04 against W2 D0 L0 for Elversberg. Discipline says sit it out: no bookmaker price published for this match yet.

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.

Shots taken and faced per game over each side’s last 6 matches, from real match data.

First half / second half shots

Schalke 04 (2 games)

6.0 / 1.5

Elversberg (2 games)

6.5 / 6.0

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.

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.
