Every other number on this page is a sum of this grid — the match result is the cells either side of the diagonal, over 2.5 is everything totalling three or more. We publish calibration for those sums, not for individual scorelines: no gate has ever graded our chance of exactly 2–1, so read a single cell as the shape of the forecast rather than a number we stand behind.

Recommended bet: none on this match

We weighed 11 priced outcomes on this match and none of them cleared the bar we set. Most matches end here, and a page that found a bet in every fixture would not be worth reading.

Our forecast makes SpVgg Greuther Furth the most likely of the three results, at 41% (we would not be surprised by anything from 33% to 51%). Most likely is not likely: at 41% this result does not happen 59% of the time. We disagree with the market, which makes 1. FC Magdeburg the most likely result instead, and prices ours at 32%.
