Percentage chance of each exact scoreline, Werder Bremen down the side and FC Augsburg across. These 99.1% cover every result up to 5 goals a side; the remaining 0.9% is spread across higher scores.

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.

Our bet on this match

Goals over 3.5: Under 3.5

  • We make this 67% against a market price of 54% — 13 points of difference.
  • Allowing for what we do not know about this match, we are 81% sure our number is the higher of the two. That is our own uncertainty, not the chance the bet wins.
  • Their last 10 matches between them averaged 3.4 goals, and 3.7 expected across the 2 we have expected goals for.
  • Their last 8 meetings averaged 2.4 goals.
  • 17 players reported unavailable — 10 for Werder Bremen, 7 for FC Augsburg.

Our forecast makes Werder Bremen the most likely of the three results, at 47% (we would not be surprised by anything from 40% to 54%). Most likely is not likely: at 47% this result does not happen 53% of the time. The market agrees on the result and prices it at 42%.

How the devigged price moved before kick-off

Solid: the market over 2 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.
