🧭 How the Model Sees It

The engine makes Lommel United a 82% call — a clear lean, and about as certain as this model gets on a three-way market where the draw always takes a share of the book.

We have Lommel United at 82% where the consensus of 11 bookmakers has 43% — a gap in our favour of 39 points. Disagreements like this are where a model earns or loses its reputation, so it is stated plainly rather than sold as an edge.

The projection totals 4 goals. Comfortably over 2.5 and above the average match — the model expects both defences to give something up.

Confidence is filed as medium at 54/99. 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.

Built from the figures above — no separate commentary, so it cannot drift out of step with them. 8th Day Engine · 2026.05.12
