The early read

Everton are 7th on 13 points after 9 matches and Coventry City are 16th on 9. Everton last won 1–0 away to Newcastle United; Coventry City last won 3–1 at home to Sunderland.

Everton 55%, draw 23%, Coventry City 22%. The most frequent score in the reference run is 1–1, appearing in 10.7% of simulations. Even the leading scoreline leaves most outcomes elsewhere.

This is a market-calibrated starting point, not an independent edge over the market. Fitness and selection can still change before kick-off. The published run stays on the record; controls below let you test alternatives.

The last five rounds

Our reading: Everton have 7 points from their last five league matches (4 scored, 6 conceded). Coventry City have 9 (9 scored, 6 conceded). The market-calibrated model makes Everton the most likely single outcome, which is a statement about the prices, not about either run of form.

Run the model

Change the assumptions, then run 100,000 matches. These are sensitivity tests, not claims about a player’s availability. Your run does not replace the published forecast.

The working

Bivariate Poisson, 90 minutes only. Expected goals: 1.85 for Everton, 1.10 for Coventry City; shared component 0.08. Rates are fitted on a 0.05-goal grid to the margin-free three-way prices and over/under 2.5 goals. The shared component is a modelling assumption, not a measured stat. Seed 20261101. No player-specific adjustment is hidden in these rates.

This compact model cannot exactly reproduce every market probability. It does not simulate possession, individual shots or tactical sequences. The score distribution comes from the rates. Five league matches provide context, not enough evidence to estimate a new team-strength model.

Snapshot American prices, home / draw / away: -140 / 300 / 360. Total 2.5: over -145, under 115. Retrieved 4 November 2026; no quote timestamp was supplied.
