Analysis
Our model puts a Republic of Ireland win at 59.5% in this Int: UEFA Nations League fixture — a moderate lean. Expected goals run 1.73 to 0.79.
Where we disagree with the market
Bookmakers price Israel at 3.25, which implies about 30.8%. Our model has it at 16.9% — 13.9 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.
