About the odds

Under 2.5 goals3.0032%44%+12
Both teams to score1.5361%54%-7

Bookmaker % has the bookmaker's margin removed, so it compares directly with our chance. Edge is the gap in points. A positive edge means we rate the outcome likelier than the price does; it is not a tip, and when we disagree the bookmaker has usually been right. Prices are a pre-match snapshot from one bookmaker and move all the time.

What our percentages mean

They are calibrated chances: a 60% call should land about six times in ten and miss about four. Ratings freeze before kick-off and are graded afterwards. The model reads goals, not team news, so it knows nothing about injuries, rotation or weather. Stats, not advice · 18+.
