Pre-match Outlook

Goalence's Pi-Ratings model gives England a clear edge against Congo DR in World Cup — 74% confidence (ELITE tier) with an expected scoreline of 1-0.

The model favors a one-sided sheet — BTTS no at 74% — pointing toward at least one team being kept off the board.

How the Model Works

We use an iterative Pi-Ratings model: each team has separate home and away attack/defense ratings, updated after every match. Lambda values are converted to outcome probabilities via Poisson distribution. Match result, over/under, and BTTS predictions are all derived from a single coherent model.
