CD Artistico Navalcarnero vs Real Betis
Our model puts a Real Betis win at 82.1% in this Copa del Rey fixture — the clearest call on this fixture. Expected goals run 0.7 to 3.05.
What this probability has been worth
A number is worth what it has been worth. Across 2,324 predictions published before kick-off and scored against the result afterwards, the calls we priced between 75% and 85% came in 82.1% of the time — 84 fixtures in that band. The model claimed 79.2%, so the two are within 3 points of each other. In this range the stated probability has meant roughly what it says.
The ratings gap
Real Betis carry a rating of 1823 against 1500 for CD Artistico Navalcarnero, a gap of 323 points. On our scale that is the difference between a side that controls most of its fixtures and one that has to earn each of them. It is also the single largest input into the probabilities above.
Attack against defence
The single rating hides where the mismatch actually sits. Splitting it, Real Betis's attack should find room against CD Artistico Navalcarnero's defence, by 267 points. That is the mechanism behind the expected-goals line rather than a separate opinion about it.
Finding the target
Real Betis hits the target more often than almost anyone: 39.6% of their shots are on goal over their last matches. The average across the sides we have figures for is 33.9%. 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.
How often they shoot
Real Betis take 16 shots a match against an average of 12. Volume like that usually means territory rather than precision, and it is why a side can dominate a match and still not win it.
