How these predictions are worked out

We start from the published 1X2 (or moneyline) price for each game, with the source shown on every card. The implied probability of decimal odds is 1 / odds.

Bookmakers build a margin into those probabilities, so they add up to more than 100%. We remove it by dividing each probability by the sum of all outcomes (proportional normalisation). Whatever sits above 100% is the bookmaker margin we show.

The "market favourite" is the outcome with the highest probability. It is not betting advice: it reflects what the odds say right now, and they move until kick-off.

The community vote comes from registered users picking an outcome on the match page. With no votes or picks, nothing is shown.

18+ only. Odds and probabilities are indicative.
