Udinese vs Cagliari
Our model puts an Udinese win at 49.2% in this Serie A fixture — a moderate lean. Expected goals run 1.5 to 0.97.
Where we disagree with the market
Bookmakers price the draw at 3.1, which implies about 32.3%. Our model has it at 26.2% — 6.1 points lower. That is a wide gap, and it is worth being plain about what it means: it is not a claim that the price is wrong and we are right. It means two methods that usually agree have landed far apart on this one, and only the result will say which of them read it better.
Evenly rated
There is almost nothing between these two on rating — 1648 against 1631, a gap of 17 points. Fixtures this evenly matched are where a model has least to say: the probabilities below are honest, but they are close to a coin weighted only slightly.
Margin risk
Our blowout flag reads 36.3%: roughly one simulation in 3 ends with a three-goal margin or more. Finishing gaps that wide make the scoreline far less predictable than the winner.
