🧭 How the Model Sees It
Nothing here clears 43%. Alaves edge it at 42% against 31% for the draw and 27% the other way — the inputs point in different directions and the engine is not claiming to know. That is published rather than dressed up.
Across 13 bookmakers the consensus lands within 2 points of our own on this outcome. Where the model and the market agree, expect the market’s accuracy rather than ours — agreement is not evidence that we are right, only that we are not saying anything unusual.
The projection totals 1 goal. Below the 2.5 line and then some — a game the model expects to turn on a single moment rather than on volume.
Confidence is filed as medium at 58/99. That tier is set from the shape of the probability distribution, not from how the fixture feels, and it is published before kick-off and graded against the result afterwards — right or wrong, it stays on the page.
📝 Match Recap
Alaves turned in a dominant second-half display to beat Getafe 3-0, a result that left our pre-match prediction looking well wide of the mark. The decisive moment came early in the second period when a red card for Kiko Femenia in the 42nd minute handed the home side a numerical advantage they'd go on to exploit ruthlessly. Tenaglia opened the scoring in the 73rd minute with an assist from Diaz, then Diaz himself doubled the lead in the 90th minute before Rodriguez added a third in the 90+4th minute, also set up by Diaz.
Our model had fancied Alaves to edge it, leaning toward a narrow 1-0 win with just a 42% probability attached to an Alaves victory—essentially a lean among plausible outcomes rather than a confident call. The draw sat at 31% and a Getafe win at 27%, reflecting the pre-match form picture: Alaves solid at home despite attacking injury worries, Getafe struggling in away fixtures. The prediction of a low-scoring contest aligned with the head-to-head trend and early-season positioning, but the sending-off completely altered the match's trajectory. Once down to ten men, Getafe couldn't contain Alaves' pressure, and the home side put the game beyond reach in the closing stages. It's a clean miss on the exact scoreline, though we did nail the direction—sometimes that's how it goes when a single incident reshapes everything.
