We make Southampton a 60% chance to win. The market has them at 66%. We are 6 points less confident than the market. The model expects 2.2–1.2.
What the number rests on
Our modelBuilt from every result and the chances each side creates and concedes, recent matches counting most, with home advantage in it. Line-ups, injuries and rest are not in the number.
Published at 62%, 60% now. No bookmaker had priced it when we published; the market has it at 66% now.
| Market | Us | Market | Gap |
|---|---|---|---|
| Southampton win | 60% | 66% | −6 |
| Draw | 20% | 19% | +1 |
| Bolton win | 20% | 15% | +5 |
| Over 2.5 goals | 64% | 66% | −2 |
| Both teams to score | 61% | 60% | +1 |
| Over 1.5 goals | 84% | 84% | 0 |
| Over 3.5 goals | 43% | 47% | −4 |

| Bolton clean sheet | 12% | – | – |
Every figure here is read off one scoreline distribution, so no two can contradict each other. The market is the median of 6 bookmakers, each with its margin stripped — what we are measured against, never an input to the model.
This is a probability, not a recommendation. We take no bets and hold no affiliate relationships with any gambling operator. Model 1.2 — Pitchside Lab's own model.
