This match profiles as a tight contest. Double chance and BTTS markets often yield better Expected Value than 1X2 in matches with this probability spread.
Win probabilities for Cruzeiro EC vs Barcelona SC 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.
