The top choice for each market β€” for reference only, no guarantee; any bet you place on it is at your own risk. For matches with bookmaker prices the pick equals the top option of the margin-free market consensus; without prices it is the statistical model.

Pre-match template read (from pre-match data)
  • The published probabilities favour Bayer Leverkusen (46%); expected goals Hoffenheim 1.66 – 2.06 Bayer Leverkusen.
  • Goals look likely: 3.72 expected in total, 72% for over 2.5 and 72% for both teams to score.
  • The single most likely score is 1:1 (9%) β€” any exact score is a long shot by nature; the likeliest HT/FT path is A/A (29%).
  • Last five: Hoffenheim WLLWL (2 wins), Bayer Leverkusen WWWDW (4 wins).

Probabilities include the bookmaker consensus, which already reflects public team news; the statistical-model part uses results, scores and the closing prices of past matches, not team news directly. Check official club news before kick-off.

1X2 and over/under 2.5 on this page equal the margin-free consensus of the closing prices recorded for this match (football-data.co.uk) (the backtest found the market more accurate than our model, so the model weight is currently 0); every other market comes from the same score matrix.
