Before kick-off the model favoured Virtus Entella to win (40%); it finished with Mantova to win. A miss — it gave the actual result 30% 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

Virtus Entella created the better chances — the xG read 1.4–1 and the shot count agreed (15–7, 4–3 on target). Virtus Entella got into the box far more often (11 shots inside it to 4). Virtus Entella's finishing let them down — 0 from 1.4 xG despite 4 of 15 shots on target (a finishing read inferred from shots on target and goals vs xG — not measured shot placement). The 0–1 flatters Mantova — on chances created, Virtus Entella shaded it.

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.

How to read this table

Consensus of bookmaker prices captured 2026-10-24 12:33 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.
