Our probabilities against the market
MembersEvery market, priced — members only
11 selections across the match result, Asian handicap, total goals, both teams to score and correct score, each with our probability and fair price beside the best price available and the gap between them. Published for everyone once the day is over.
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.
Malaga favoured against Racing Santander
Our model makes Malaga 48% to win this La Liga fixture, with the draw at 22% and Racing Santander at 31%. The goal projection is 2.11 for Malaga against 1.68 for Racing Santander — a clear edge to Malaga on expected output. A combined 3.78 goals points to a wide-open game that could get away from either side, which puts over 2.5 at 73% and both teams to score at 72%. The single most likely scoreline is 2-1 at 8%, 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.
