Post-match analysis

Judged against the prediction this page published before kickoff. Right or wrong, it stays on the record.

A call is the side our published probability favoured. If we leaned towards under and three goals went in, that counts as a miss.

Our verdict

Road2Sushi's own call on this match: the likeliest result, how confident the model is, its strongest signals and the reasons behind them.

Every percentage is a model estimate and every fair price is 1 divided by that estimate. Neither is a bookmaker offer, and a model call is not a proven edge over the market.

This match has been played. This is a historical snapshot of the pre-match estimates, not a current price opportunity. Mainz lead the result estimates at 46.1%. The match still has meaningful room for a draw or an opponent win. Over 7.5 shots on target · both teams stands out at 71.8%. It is a stronger probability signal than the other eligible reads shown here. Without a complete matching price comparison, this is an event read rather than a verified price opportunity. The overall match assessment has not cleared the model's betting filters; this market read does not override that decision.

Margin-adjusted comparison for this selection. The difference is in percentage points, not a proven return.

Context & limits

  • Schalke 04: 1 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 5 recorded matches. Recent form is context, not an extra win probability.
  • Mainz: 2 wins, 1 draws and 2 losses in the last 5 recorded matches. Recent form is context, not an extra win probability.
  • The last 5 recorded meetings averaged 2.0 goals. This is a historical sample, not a forecast for this fixture.
  • Recorded season averages: Schalke 04 3.6 and Mainz 6.0 shots on target per game. These are team averages, not a forecast of this match total.
  • Player watch: Sheraldo Becker (Mainz) records 1.28 shots on target per 90 minutes over 1968 recorded minutes. This is a recent-form rate, not a guaranteed starting place or a price advantage.
  • Some displayed estimates have limited validation. Read those percentages as a range, not a precise prediction.
  • A complete matching price comparison is unavailable for this selection, so a price edge cannot be established.
Additional match context

Schalke 04 versus Mainz on 17 October 2026 tilts towards Mainz in our numbers (46%), with plenty left over for the other outcomes. Bookmakers see it the same way, 43% on Mainz, and agreement is historically when our numbers are most reliable. Everything in the shot data points to goals, 64% for Over 2.5 with both teams to score at 65%. History adds colour: across the last 5 meetings it is 2 wins for Schalke 04, 3 draws and 0 for Mainz at 2.0 goals per match. Recent form reads W1 D2 L3 for Schalke 04 against W3 D1 L2 for Mainz. As a promoted side, Schalke 04 carry exactly the structural uncertainty our priors were built for. Junior Adamu drives the home shot volume, 0.6 on target per 90. The engine passes on this one (value_gap +0.029 <= 0.03).

Odds: model vs bookmaker

Every price for this match in one place: the model's probabilities next to the bookmaker's, the bookmaker's prices with our gap, and the model's own fair odds for each market.

Bookmaker probabilities are de-vigged (the margin is removed) and come from one bookmaker. A gap between the model and that bookmaker is a disagreement, not a proven edge. Fair odds are 1 divided by the model probability, not a bookmaker quote.

Model vs market

Pre-match estimates, recorded before the match.

1X2: Bet365 prices, observed 17 Oct 2026, 11:05 UTC, with the bookmaker margin taken out.

Goals: Bet365 prices via football-data.co.uk, observed 17 Oct 2026, 11:05 UTC, with the bookmaker margin taken out.

A market probability is the bookmaker's own price with its margin taken out, so the outcomes of each line add up to 100%. A gap from our model is a disagreement, not a proven edge: when we tested 1X2 and goal totals on matches the model had never seen, the bookmaker's closing price was more accurate. For corners, cards and shots we have no such test.

Every market price shown was recorded before kick-off.

Bookmaker odds

Real bookmaker price (Bet365) next to our model fair price. Bookmaker prices include the bookmaker margin, so our margin-free fair price usually looks longer. We do not claim to beat the closing market.

Gap is our probability minus the probability the bookmaker price implies (1 divided by the price), in percentage points. Because the price includes the margin, most gaps are negative. Model highlights are outcomes where our probability is at least 15 points higher. A gap is a disagreement, not a proven edge.

After full time these are the stored pre-match prices, kept for the record. They are not current prices, so no outcome is highlighted.

Both teams combined. Each bar uses the stored model estimate for that exact total-goals line. Missing estimates are unavailable; they are not zero.

Fair odds are the model’s own probability price, not a published bookmaker offer.

Market explorer

Model probabilities and fair odds.

Each bar is a specific Over selection for both teams combined. Its height is the model probability, on the same 0–100% scale.

Risk describes estimated likelihood, not profitability: low risk at least 62%, medium 48% to under 62%, high below 48%. Colors follow the actual estimate, even when a risk band is missing.

Up to four markets are selected from available model data, prioritising a spread of risk profiles. Fair odds are calculated from the model, not bookmaker prices: 1 divided by probability.

Scores are exact home-away outcomes from zero to five goals per team. Unavailable estimates stay blank; partial inputs are not expanded, inferred or normalised. Scores outside the matrix remain eligible for the top three.

Referee

One match referee is shown from an explicitly saved result or a fresh, identity-matched provider fixture. Previous referees are never used to guess an appointment. An API listing can change.

The referee’s totals count every completed match with this referee in our data: football-data.co.uk names the referee in English leagues, and API-Football names the referee of the same match (same teams, date and score) in every league from 2025/26. A rate needs at least 5 matches with that figure.

The team table shows each team’s published history with that same referee only. Matches, team cards per game and match cards per game are separate fields; their available samples can differ. Missing values are not zero. Cards include yellow and red cards in the current historical source.

Referee not recorded

No verified match referee is available in the saved data.

First half / second half

Averages per game in this season’s league matches, split at half-time. Games is the number of each team’s matches with verified half data for that row; below five matches the row stays blank, and a missing value is never a zero.

Corners, shots on target and yellow cards per half come from the data provider’s half-by-half match statistics and are only used when the two halves add up to the full-time count. Cards are split by the minute they were shown, and first-half stoppage time counts as the first half. These are recorded results, not predictions.

In the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 the shots per half come from a different source than the match shot totals, so the two can differ slightly.

Schalke 04: players to watch (recent-form projection)

Each number is the player’s recent rate per 90 minutes, scaled to how long we expect them to play. Only players in this season’s squad appear. It is a projection from recent form, not a confirmed lineup: nobody has announced the team yet.

Full market spectrum · model probabilities

The model’s own percentages, with no odds attached. The smaller markets are here so you can see everything we hold a number on, not because we claim an advantage in them. The colour says how close our percentages have landed to reality on matches the model had never seen. This is the raw model spectrum. Its match-result marginal can differ from the published 1X2 above; it does not replace the saved prediction.

Method, limits & performance

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 0.0106 (56038 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.
