Arsenal v Coventry City
Fri, Aug 21, 3:00 PM ET · Matchweek 1 · Premier League
Not validated out of sample. 26 Premier League matches have been graded under this model — far too few to support any accuracy claim. No win rate or accuracy figure is quoted, and this model has not been validated out of sample. These are the model's own probability distributions, published so you can see what it says — not picks, not advice, and not compared against any price.
Cold start: Coventry City has no top-flight history in the four-season corpus this model is fitted on, so it runs at the league-average baseline rather than a fitted strength. Every figure below inherits that.
Full time, 90 minutes
The draw is a real outcome and is never folded away.
Goalscoring shape and margin
Every figure is an exact sum over the same score grid.
Where these numbers come from
Per-club attack and defence rates are fitted to Premier League results only, then combined into an exact Poisson score matrix for this fixture. Every probability on this page is a closed-form sum over that one grid — there is no sampling here, so there is no run count to quote and the figures are identical for every visitor, every time.
The fit takes an explicit cutoff at the run clock, so it cannot see a result from a match it is forecasting. Team-level only: no lineup, injury or team-news input exists in this model, by design.
