How does FootballMoney predict this match?

Our AI model analyzes historical team performance, ELO ratings, recent form, injuries, and statistical metrics to generate probability estimates for Home Win, Draw, and Away Win.

What is Model Confidence vs Prediction Probability?

Prediction probability (e.g., 41% Home Win) is the chance of a specific outcome. Model Confidence measures how certain the AI is about the ranking of outcomes — even with low probabilities, the model can be highly confident about which outcome is most likely.

How does the Prediction Timeline work?

After a match finishes, we reconstruct how the AI's probability estimates changed throughout the game, identifying key turning points where the model adjusted its prediction based on in-game events.
