Draw

3.90Betfair · fair 3.27 · qualifies at 3.53+ · 1.67u
Why this price?

Back the draw at 3.90 with Betfair.

Our model puts the chance at 31%, which is a fair price of 3.27. The offered 3.90 implies only 26%, so the price is 19.4% better than our estimate says it should be. That gap is the edge.

Stake 1.67 units of a 100-unit bank: the size follows the edge (a quarter-Kelly fraction), never more than 2 units.

Projected goals: FYR Macedonia 0.81, Scotland 1.27.

The edge is an estimate and carries model error; it can be wrong, and a losing run is normal.

Why this price?

Back under 2.5 goals at 1.75 with 1xBet — 2 goals or fewer in the match.

Our model puts the chance at 66%, which is a fair price of 1.53. The offered 1.75 implies only 57%, so the price is 14.7% better than our estimate says it should be. That gap is the edge.

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.

Scotland favoured against FYR Macedonia

Our model makes FYR Macedonia 23% to win this UEFA Nations League fixture, with the draw at 31% and Scotland at 46%. The goal projection is 0.81 for FYR Macedonia against 1.27 for Scotland — a clear edge to Scotland on expected output. A combined 2.08 goals points to a low-scoring, tight affair, which puts over 2.5 at 34% and both teams to score at 41%. The single most likely scoreline is 0-1 at 15%, though no individual scoreline is ever likely in absolute terms — that is the nature of a low-scoring sport. This sits in the awkward middle of the distribution, where the model has a view but not a strong one. All figures come from a Dixon–Coles adjusted Poisson model fitted on recent results and expected goals. They are estimates, not forecasts of fact.
