| Market | Yes | No | Our call |
|---|---|---|---|

| Over 3.5 goals | 25% | 75% | no pick |
| Both teams to score | 50% | 50% | No |
The result model puts Deportivo Pereira at 50%, the draw at 27% and Jaguares at 23%, from expected goals of 1.49 and 0.92.
The league sets the starting point. Primera A has produced over 2.5 goals in 45% of its matches, and that is where a team with no record of its own would sit.
Each side's own record. Deportivo Pereira have 14 in 33 this season (7 of 16 at home), Jaguares 19 in 33 (10 of 16 away). Those records are pulled toward the league rate with the weight of about 24 matches — enough that two or three unusual games cannot swing a rating — giving 44% and 52%.
Last season still counts, briefly. With 33 and 33 games played this season, last season's rates are still blended in and fade out entirely by game 40 — the point at which our testing showed they stop adding accuracy. A single season is part luck, so each club's record is first pulled toward the league average by 34 games' weight. That moves the two figures to 44% and 52%.
The mix. Weighted 40% home side, 40% away side and 20% league — the split that beat every alternative across 30,582 matches of testing — that gives 47%.
Head to head. These sides have met 3 times in three years, producing over 2.5 goals in 33%. That nudges the number 5% of the way toward the head-to-head pattern — deliberately small, because fixtures change more than reputations do — landing on 47%.
Goal expectation. Separately a Poisson model built from attack and defence strength — using real expected-goals data where the league has it — puts this match at 43%, from expected goals of 1.49 for Deportivo Pereira and 0.92 for Jaguares. Folding in 30% of that view gives 46%.
Calibration. Tested against 97,729 past matches, our ratings below 55% have run consistently too pessimistic — a figure in the high 30s, for instance, has come in about four points higher. So ratings in that range are lifted part-way back, giving 47%.
This breakdown is generated from the same inputs the rating uses, so it cannot describe a calculation we did not perform. The full model is set out in the methodology.
| Team | Games | O2.5 | O3.5 | BTTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deportivo Pereira | 33 | 42% | 30% | 42% |
| Jaguares | 33 | 58% | 33% | 58% |
Our numbers give this match a 67% chance of at least one goal before half-time and 30% of two or more. The Primera A rates are 67% and 32%. After the break: 73% for a goal and 41% for two or more (league 73% and 38%). Deportivo Pereira's last 50 games had a first-half goal 66% of the time and a second-half goal 68%; Jaguares's last 50, 70% and 76%. Team form says less about a single half than about a full match, so these numbers stay close to the league's.
Every match ranked the same way: first half goals today · second half goals today · tomorrow.
