Advised bets

No advised bet on this fixture. The available prices are close enough to our own numbers that there is nothing worth backing. Most fixtures end up here, and manufacturing a selection for every game is exactly how tipster records get destroyed.

A positive gap means our probability is higher than the price implies. That is information, not a recommendation: a pick is only published where the gap clears our bar after allowing for model error, and those appear above.

Dinamo Zagreb favoured against NEC Nijmegen

Our model makes Dinamo Zagreb 63% to win this UEFA Europa League fixture, with the draw at 19% and NEC Nijmegen at 17%. The goal projection is 2.38 for Dinamo Zagreb against 1.19 for NEC Nijmegen — a commanding edge to Dinamo Zagreb on expected output. A combined 3.57 goals points to a high-tempo game with chances at both ends, which puts over 2.5 at 69% and both teams to score at 64%. The single most likely scoreline is 2-1 at 9%, though no individual scoreline is ever likely in absolute terms — that is the nature of a low-scoring sport. Dinamo Zagreb is a strong favourite here on the numbers, but a 37% chance of not winning is not a remote possibility — it is roughly a one-in-three shot. All figures come from a Dixon–Coles adjusted Poisson model fitted on recent results and expected goals. They are estimates, not forecasts of fact.

Most likely scores: 2-1 9%; 1-1 8%; 2-0 8%; 3-1 8%; 3-0 6%
