Cumulative league totals. Solid lines are goals, dashed lines are xG. A line pulling away from its pair is a gap between goals and chances, not a verdict.

Ratings that feed the price

Attack is xG for divided by the league’s home or away average. Defence is xG against divided by what the opposition usually creates in that venue. Both are shrunk towards the league with four phantom matches, so two bright afternoons cannot set the price on their own. Home attack 1.17 from 5 home matches. Home defence 0.83. Away attack 1.08 from 5 away matches. Away defence 0.90.

Next up

Fair price

Next in the eight-day window: AFC Bournemouth v Nottingham Forest, Sat 21 Nov, 15:00. The model’s fair prices are home 39.2% (31/20), draw 23.8% (16/5), away 37.0% (17/10). Expected home goals 1.58, expected away goals 1.53. The margin is already off. That is a method. It is not a selection.

Expected home goals 1.58 · expected away goals 1.53.

The price uses season home and away xG, with four matches of shrinkage towards this league’s averages. The recent matches above give context; they do not set the price. Expected home goals (λ) and expected away goals (μ) feed a plain Poisson model. The low-score correction in Chapter 17 is not applied. Fair odds have the margin already off. They are model output, not a selection.

The model

What the expected goals say

AFC Bournemouth expected goals 1.58, Nottingham Forest 1.53: the home side’s shrunk home attack against the away side’s shrunk away defence, and the reverse, each set against this league’s own-venue average. Four phantom matches at the league average are already in the ratings.

Next five

Priced on today’s home and away xG. The morning after a match is played, both clubs’ ratings move and these five are priced again. A fixture later in the list uses the same ratings as the next one. That shows the run as the model sees it now, and which prices shift once the matches in front of them have been played. It is not a forecast of the table. The margin is already off. It is not a selection.
