RESEARCH · ESTIMATED CHANCES · EXAMPLE ODDSYesterday, 1 of 5 research picks was correct. PAOK–Asteras finished with 11 corners, so “under 11.5 corners” won. The other four picks lost. These were research forecasts, not a certified record of placed bets.
The PAOK–Asteras corners pick was correct. We also checked the day’s ideas against less optimistic forecasts instead of looking only for arguments that support a pick. The website’s research-status pages are working again; that does not mean the predictions are more accurate.
Four of yesterday’s five research picks were wrong. Some games had more goals or cards than expected. Team news and price checks were also incomplete. We will test the risk checks against future results, rather than changing the model after a single day.
For today: we use the more cautious forecast when sources disagree, check how each pick could fail, and compare the estimated chance with the quoted price. Next to test: stop the same match appearing in multiple combinations, check card-counting rules, and confirm team news closer to kickoff. We have not changed the live prediction model.
We looked through 68 scheduled matches across 37 competitions, then checked possible picks in several European leagues. This is a broad search, not every football game worldwide. Fixture list Research predictions
We checked the 15 NBA games on the US Monday schedule and Petkim–Efes. We did not find a basketball pick with enough dependable information about players and prices. NBA schedule Basketball research
We checked the Paris Masters tennis matches. Match start times and player availability were not clear enough to put a tennis pick in today’s Top 5. ATP research
Times shown below are for Athens. Fixtures, lineups and prices may change before the match starts.
Atromitos–Volos · Over 1.5 goals
74.0% estimated chance of at least two goals. Example odds: 1.35–1.36. Our view: this is the closest price of today’s five ideas, but the margin is tiny. Even a small drop in confidence makes the price unattractive. What could go wrong? A slow 0–0 or 1–0 game; team news is not fully confirmed.
Sassuolo–Fiorentina · Over 1.5 goals
79.68% estimated chance of at least two goals. Example odds: 1.19. Our view: the outcome may be fairly likely, but the price is too low to offer a clear advantage. What could go wrong? Missing players or a goalless game.
Atromitos–Volos under 3.5 goals plus an Atalanta win. Older example odds multiply to 2.0349, but a later comparison brings them down to 1.995. Our cautious estimate gives this combination only about a 41.35% chance, below the 49.14% needed at the older price. Decision: not a good-value combination. The prices were not confirmed together at one bookmaker.
Other forecasts range from 79.68% to 89%. We use the lower figure. At 1.19 the price is not generous enough. A score of 0–0 or 1–0 would spoil this pick.
Sports Mole 79.68%; BankoZeka 84%; SportPremi 89%. Example odds 1.19; break-even 84.03%; EV −5.18%; at −3 percentage points, EV −8.75%. No calibrated AIONORA probability.
Other forecasts range from 77.37% to 87%. Parma may defend deep and keep the score low. At odds of 1.21, this is not good value.
Sports Mole 77.37%; BankoZeka 83%; SportPremi 87%. Example odds 1.21; break-even 82.64%; EV −6.38%; at −3 percentage points, EV −10.01%. No calibrated AIONORA probability.
The lower outside forecast gives Benfica a 76% chance to win. Alverca could still force a draw. Odds of 1.17 offer too little reward for that risk.
Bet2Odds 76%; Sports Mole 78.83%. Example odds 1.17; break-even 85.47%; EV −11.08%; at −3 percentage points, EV −14.59%. No calibrated AIONORA probability.
Two outside estimates suggest around a three-in-four chance of at least two goals. But 0–0 or 1–0 remains possible. The 1.36 price is only just above our estimated fair threshold.
BankoZeka 74%; Sports Mole 75.96%. Example odds 1.36; break-even 73.53%; EV +0.64%; at −3 percentage points, EV −3.44%. No calibrated AIONORA probability.

A two-goal game looks plausible, but Everton could slow things down. A 0–0 or 1–0 result is a real risk, and 1.24 is too short for our cautious estimate.
Sports Mole 73.53%; SportPremi 78%; BankoZeka 80%. Example odds 1.24; break-even 80.65%; EV −8.82%; at −3 percentage points, EV −12.54%. No calibrated AIONORA probability.
| Rank | Game and our research pick | Estimated chance | Example odds | Price verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Sassuolo–Fiorentina At least 2 goals · 19:30 | 79.68% | 1.19 | Too low for the estimated chance |
| #2 | Atalanta–Parma At least 2 goals · 21:45 | 77.37% | 1.21 | Too low |
| #3 | Benfica–Alverca Benfica to win · 22:15 | 76.00% | 1.17 | Too low |
| #4 | Atromitos–Volos At least 2 goals · 18:00 | 74.00% | 1.36 | Almost fair, but fragile |
| #5 | Newcastle–Everton At least 2 goals · 22:00 | 73.53% | 1.24 | Too low |
Estimated chance: what independent outside forecasts suggest. Odds: an example bookmaker price. Break-even: the chance needed just to make that price fair. EV: a mathematical price check, not a prediction of profit. A negative EV means the price looks poor under the stated assumptions.
How to read this: These are five possible outcomes ranked by estimated chance, not five bets to place. The prices are examples. Four are clearly unattractive at the quoted odds; Atromitos–Volos is close, but the advantage disappears if the estimate is just a little too high.

| #1 | Sassuolo – Fiorentina Over 1.5 goals · 19:30 Athens | 79.68% | 1.19 | 84.03% | -5.18% | -8.75% |
| #2 | Atalanta – Parma Over 1.5 goals · 21:45 Athens | 77.37% | 1.21 | 82.64% | -6.38% | -10.01% |
| #3 | Benfica – Alverca Benfica win (1) · 22:15 Athens | 76.00% | 1.17 | 85.47% | -11.08% | -14.59% |
| #4 | Atromitos – Volos Over 1.5 goals · 18:00 Athens | 74.00% | 1.36 | 73.53% | +0.64% | -3.44% |
| #5 | Newcastle – Everton Over 1.5 goals · 22:00 Athens | 73.53% | 1.24 | 80.65% | -8.82% | -12.54% |
The example pair might look attractive because its older combined odds were just over 2.00. But our cautious forecast gives it only about a 41% chance of winning, while those odds require around 49%. One later price would also bring the total below 2.00. Our decision: leave it out. We could not confirm both prices at the same time with one bookmaker.
Why we would not choose these as bets: A result can be likely and still be poor value if the odds are too low. Sassuolo, Atalanta, Benfica and Newcastle all fall into that group. Atromitos–Volos is closer, but a small forecasting error would erase its advantage. The two-game combination is also too risky at the prices checked. These picks remain research ideas, not recommended wagers.
How reliable are these estimates? They come from public forecasting sources, not from a fully tested AIONORA model. We could not confirm every team lineup or a live, available price for every match. That is why we do not give a numerical confidence score or call any pick a verified betting recommendation.
Project update: The site can now read its research-status information from Neon, but the full daily prediction-history system is not finished. There are no genuine stored forecasts and results yet for checking long-term accuracy. Nothing in the official track record or live model was changed for this issue.
