This match profiles as a true toss-up. Double chance and BTTS markets often yield better Expected Value than 1X2 in matches with this probability spread.
Win probabilities for SE Palmeiras vs Cruzeiro EC are produced by a Poisson regression model using each side's attack and defence rates against league average. The expected goal counts (λ values) feed a 7×7 score matrix; we then sum the cells to get 1X2, Over/Under and BTTS probabilities. Expected Value is calculated by comparing model probability to the bookmaker implied probability after stripping the overround.
