Analysis

Our model puts a Modena win at 37.6% in this Serie B fixture — close to a three-way split. Expected goals run 1.2 to 1.25.

What this probability has been worth

A number is worth what it has been worth. Across 1,941 predictions published before kick-off and scored against the result afterwards, the calls we priced between 35% and 45% came in 38.8% of the time — 717 fixtures in that band. The model claimed 40.6%, so the two are within 1.8 points of each other. In this range the stated probability has meant roughly what it says.

Where we disagree with the market

Bookmakers price Modena at 1.8, which implies about 55.6%. Our model has it at 37.6% — 18 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.

Carrarese are off their season peak

Carrarese peaked at 1500 this season and sit at 1430 today, 70 points below their own best. Measuring a side against itself rather than against the table is often the earlier signal, and it is not visible in a league position.

Finding the target

Carrarese struggles to hit the target: 23.2% of their shots are on goal over their last matches. The average across the sides we have figures for is 34.1%. Accuracy is not the same as scoring — it says how much of a side's shooting is worth a goalkeeper's attention, which is the part that does not swing as wildly from week to week as goals do.
