⇄ Why the estimates differ

Both estimates favour Bologna, but the market gives their home win more weight. Bologna’s three wins in five matches, compared with Monza’s two wins and three defeats, offer a plausible basis for that stronger preference. Bologna also sit higher in the table, have conceded fewer goals across the season and won both listed head-to-head meetings. Monza’s larger unavailable list could contribute, although the data does not establish the missing players’ relative importance.

The expected-goals figures suggest a closer contest: Monza’s attacking xG is slightly higher than Bologna’s, while Bologna have the better defensive xG. That balance could help explain a more cautious statistical estimate despite Bologna’s stronger results. Bologna also have nine injured players, and their two listed recent home matches produced a draw and a defeat. These are plausible competing signals; the supplied data does not reveal how either estimate weights them.

Gap of 10.4 percentage points.
