Prediction model breakdown

The model sees this as a tight contest: Switzerland at 38.25%, draw at 29.40%, and Canada at 32.40%. The market slightly favours Switzerland at ~2.50 average odds (implied ~40%), which aligns closely with the model. The draw probability of 29.40% versus ~33% implied (odds ~3.05) suggests the market may slightly overvalue the draw.

Additional markets

  • Over/Under 2.5 goals: The model gives just 37.15% to Over 2.5 — both teams may approach this cautiously given it's for first place.
  • Both Teams to Score: BTTS Yes at 43.75% — 888Sport BTTS Yes at 1.80 (~56% implied) seems too short relative to the model.
  • Most likely correct scores: 1-1 (13.21%), 1-0 to Switzerland (13.06%), 0-1 to Canada (11.65%).
