today's favourites predictions
"today's favourites" predictions: matches in the next 3 days ranked from most to least likely, according to our statistical model. The favourite is the team our model gives the highest chance of winning. A "favourite to win" bet wins if that team wins the match (a draw loses).
How to read this prediction
The bigger the gap in expected goals between the teams, the clearer the favourite.
The grid under each match gives every probability from the model: home win (1), draw (X), away win (2), over 1.5 / 2.5 / 3.5 goals, and both teams to score (yes / no). Compare them with the odds: odds of 2.00 imply 50%, odds of 1.50 about 67%.

How our predictions are made
Our predictions come from a statistical model (Poisson distribution) applied to the goals each team scored and conceded in its last 6 matches, smoothed towards the average when the history is short, with a small home advantage. No guesswork: probabilities, calculated the same way for every match.
- 1 / X / 2: probability of a home win, a draw, an away win.
- Our pick: the win if it is above 50%, otherwise the most likely double chance.
- Correct score: the most likely score (rarely above 15 to 20%).
- Locked at kick-off: we never change a prediction once the match has started.
