Championship results and our prediction record

We have published 3,422 Championship predictions since September 2020, and every one of them has been graded against the final score.

Across those matches, on the match result it was right 52 times out of 95, which is 55%; on the double chance it was right 6 times out of 8, too few to put a rate on.

Every concluded Championship match we predicted is listed below, with the pick we made beforehand and what actually happened.

Our record in Championship

Every prediction below was published before the match kicked off and graded afterwards against the final score. Losing markets are included, and the sample size sits beside every rate.

Market Predictions Correct Hit rate
Match result 95 52 54.7%
Double chance 8 6 6 of 8 too few to quote a rate
Over or under 2.5 goals 237 135 57.0%
Over 1.5 goals same call, safer line 71 61 85.9%
Under 3.5 goals same call, safer line 128 101 78.9%

The last two rows are not separate predictions. They are the same over or under call read at a line that is easier to clear: a call of over 2.5 goals also clears 1.5, and a call of under 2.5 also stays under 3.5. That is why each of them covers about half the matches, and why they land higher.

How the model reads Championship

Championship matches in this archive average 2.51 goals, against 2.69 across the 57 competitions we cover. 47% of them finish with three goals or more, and the model goes over 2.5 in 38% of the matches it calls.

The home side wins 43% of Championship matches here and draws 26%. Our model picks the home side in 37% of them, so it backs the home side less often than the home side wins. Of the three markets we publish, over or under 2.5 goals is where the model reads Championship best, at 57% from 237 picks, and match result is where it reads it worst, at 55% from 95.

Read at a line that is easier to clear, the same goals call lands far more often: our 71 calls of over 2.5 in Championship also cleared 1.5 goals 86% of the time, and our 128 calls of under 2.5 also stayed under 3.5 79% of the time. Those are not extra predictions. They are the one call counted against a softer question, which is why they sit roughly twenty points above the 2.5 line itself.

Double chance backs two of the three results, the two our model rated most likely, so it lands more often than the result call and pays less. The safer line is the same goals call read where it is easier to clear: a call of over 2.5 goals also clears 1.5, and a call of under 2.5 also stays under 3.5. Each price is the one quoted when we published the call.
