What the model expected

Its probabilities for this match, logged before kick-off and never changed. The result is highlighted.

Genoa

Draw
29%
Como
42%

The model made Como to win its most likely call before kick-off, and that is what happened. It had the result at 42% beforehand.

One match tells you nothing on its own — whether these percentages are any good is the whole point of the calibration page, where every one of them is scored.

The brain read

Como created the better chances — the xG read 0.8–1.8 and the shot count agreed (11–20, 2–9 on target). Como held 62% of the ball. Como's finishing ran hot — 4 from 1.8 xG, 9 of 20 shots on target (a finishing read inferred from shots on target and goals vs xG — not measured shot placement). On the balance of chances, the 1–4 reads fair.

A second opinion written by rule from the numbers on this page — where the shot picture and the xG disagree, it says so rather than picking a winner. Backward-looking only; it claims nothing about any future result.

Consensus of bookmaker prices captured 2026-09-04 18:30 UTC. These are the closing prices — the market’s last word before kick-off. The Move column is how each market’s implied chance has shifted since the first price we captured: green = the chance has risen (the price shortened, backing coming in), red = the chance has fallen (the price eased out — what punters call the price ‘drifting’).

Prices are observations, not offers. Each price is the average across the bookmakers the collector sees, and the implied chance is that price with the bookmaker’s margin stripped out. The market’s read is published so the model’s read can be judged against it — nothing here is advice, and nothing here is staked.
