Our bet on this match

Match result: FC Augsburg

  • We make this 55% against a market price of 43% — 12 points of difference.
  • Allowing for what we do not know about this match, we are 68% sure our number is the higher of the two. That is our own uncertainty, not the chance the bet wins.
  • Their last 2 meetings averaged 3.5 goals.
  • 14 players reported unavailable — 7 for FC Augsburg, 7 for FC Schalke 04.

Our forecast makes FC Augsburg the most likely of the three results, at 55% (we would not be surprised by anything from 44% to 65%). Most likely is not likely: at 55% this result does not happen 45% of the time. The market agrees on the result and prices it at 43%.

How the devigged price moved before kick-off

Solid: the market over 4 captures. Dashed: our forecast, which does not move. Scaled 0–100%, so a line that looks flat is a price that barely moved rather than one we stopped watching.

Gap is our probability minus the market's. A large one means we disagree with the price, not that we are right — whether we have been is published per market on the accuracy page. A market with no price is one we hold no odds for yet.
