Pre-match Outlook
Bolton hold a slim edge over Cardiff in this English Championship match — 39% confidence puts it in the Normal tier with a 2-1 projection.
In this English Championship context, small swings in form or selection can flip the projection — treat the narrow-confidence pick as a starting point rather than a lock.
How the Model Works
We use an iterative Pi-Ratings model: each team has separate home and away attack/defense ratings, updated after every match. Lambda values are converted to outcome probabilities via Poisson distribution. Match result, over/under, and BTTS predictions are all derived from a single coherent model.
Bolton vs Cardiff — Bolton Home Win: 39%.
