Our confidence score blends three inputs: the market-implied signal from public odds, the head-to-head record between these two sides, and each team's recent form (weighted by sample size). No single input can move the score more than 18 points from the market signal, which keeps the model grounded.
All models are statistical estimates, not certainties. Treat every figure on this page as one input into your own decision, not as a promise of an outcome.
