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.

Method

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.
