Darker green = likelier. Rows are LIV goals, columns NOT. Scores of six or more each way carry the remaining probability.

Price held steady since first assessment (2026-08-19) — reassessed after every played match, frozen at kickoff.

What this is built from
The engine weighs
  • Chance quality created and conceded, both sides, all season
  • Opponent strength and venue
  • Recent play, weighted toward now
It cannot see
  • Confirmed lineups
  • Injuries and suspensions
  • Cup rotation plans

Engine internals are proprietary. The complete performance record — including every miss — is public at /model.
