- Dixon-Coles lambdas are 2.33 home and 1.63 away; the derived model distribution gives Leipzig +2 roughly 66% win probability before exact-two-goal pushes.
- Most likely loss is Real Madrid winning by 3 or more; the model estimates that outcome at roughly 17.5%.
Deep Book- model lambdas are 2.33-1.63; Pinnacle prices Leipzig +2 at -101. Board as_of_pt 2026-10-21T11:12:13-07:00.

- Poisson from live soccer_game_features lambdas 2.33 + 1.63 gives about 44.2% under 3.5 versus 34.5% price-implied.
- Posted XI lookup: Leipzig retains a nine-player recurring core from the last-five lineup sample; Real changes three from its latest XI.
- Model has 24.4% under 2.5, but the 3.5 threshold adds the important one-goal cushion at a plus-money price.
- The same model projects 3.96 total goals and 75.6% over 2.5, so four goals is a live failure path.
