Percentage chance of each exact scoreline, Sevilla down the side and Valencia across. These 99.7% cover every result up to 5 goals a side; the remaining 0.3% 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.

Best price 2.00 at William HillThe number we compare ourselves against is the middle of the market. This is the longest price we can see, which is the one that decides whether the edge is real for you.

  • We make this 53% against a market price of 46% — 7 points of difference.
  • Allowing for what we do not know about this match, we are 71% 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 2.8 goals, and 2.2 expected across the 3 we have expected goals for.
  • Both sides scored in 6 of those 10.
  • Their last 10 meetings averaged 2.0 goals.
  • 21 players reported unavailable — 7 for Sevilla, 14 for Valencia.
  • The price has moved 5.7% towards Sevilla since it opened.

Our forecast makes Sevilla the most likely of the three results, at 40% (we would not be surprised by anything from 33% to 47%). Most likely is not likely: at 40% this result does not happen 60% of the time. The market agrees on the result and prices it at 49%.

On goals we are saying nothing today: this market did not pass our own calibration checks, and a number we cannot stand behind is worse than no number.

How the devigged price moved before kick-off

Solid: the market over 8 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.
