Our model figure is the probability our own data gives the selection. The market figure is the probability implied by the price, which includes the bookmaker’s margin — so an edge of two or three points is within that margin rather than a genuine disagreement.

These are not tips. Every row is priced too short to back on its own – at 1/4 or 2/5 you are risking a lot to win a little, and a 100% record across six matches is not a guarantee of a seventh. They are legs worth considering inside a bet builder, where several combine into a price worth taking. None of them is in our record, because we are not recommending them.
Yunus Akgun has been fouled in all 6 of his last 6 across 1,022 minutes at 4/11, and Pedro Goncalves has had two or more shots in 5 of 6. One from each side, in the most even tie of the round.
