Prediction model breakdown

The model gives Jordan a 26.35% win probability, the draw at 24.40%, and Algeria at 49.25%. Algeria are clear favourites both by model and market, though the model's 49.25% is somewhat lower than the ~65% implied by the 1.53 average price. This gap suggests the market may be overvaluing Algeria's chances relative to the prediction model.

Jordan at 26.35% model probability versus approximately 16% implied by odds around 6.30 could represent a significant value angle if the model is accurate.
