Ch 03 · Reasoning
What is driving this
computed, not generated
Computed arithmetic, not generated text. Each driver is a stored quantity: the Elo difference replayed from results, points per game over the last five matches, rolling expected goals, and each absent player's share of team expected goals.
Recent form1.40 against 2.40 points per game
Favours BHA. last 5 and 5 completed matches: WWLLD against LWWWW
Underlying expected goals+0.54 net xG per match
Favours BOU. BOU +1.54, BHA +1.00 across the form window — results are noisier than the chances behind them
Home advantage+60 Elo equivalent
Favours BOU. the football default is around 100 Elo points, but Premier League home advantage fell during the crowdless 2020/21 season and settled lower afterwards, so the ratings carry a smaller term
Unavailable players7% home against 10% away xG missing
Favours BOU. 4 out and 3 doubtful for BOU, 6 out and 8 doubtful for BHA; measured as the share of recent expected goals those players contributed
Team rating gap-6 Elo
Favours BHA. BOU 1585 against BHA 1591, computed from stored results; an Elo-driven model scores RPS around 0.2015 on this league against roughly 0.194 for de-vigged closing odds

Bookmaker prices
No bookmaker prices held for this fixture. Every price shown is the model's own fair price, meaning 1 / probability with no margin. Nobody is offering these.
Nothing held. football-data.co.uk publishes weekend Premier League prices on Friday afternoon, and The Odds API needs a key. Historical fixtures already carry closing odds, so the comparison works there.
