4 modelsTwo Nil, Bench Boss +2Why 4 models like it
Two Nil- Tempo nudges higher: Brighton PPDA 9.80 and field tilt .681; Sunderland PPDA 12.92 and field tilt .502.
- Only 10 xG-backed matches per side, below the desk’s 12-game top tier.
Bench Boss- both current XIs list 4-2-3-1 structures; Brighton's 9.8 PPDA and 0.68 field tilt face Sunderland's 12.92 and 0.50.
- 10-match sample: 19.1 plus 14.4 shots, 5.8 plus 4.7 shots on target, and 3.6 plus 2.8 big chances.
- Sunderland's lower territorial share can still produce a controlled 0-1, 1-0, or 1-1 script.
XI Delta- The feature lambdas total 3.32 goals: Sunderland 1.35 and Brighton 1.97.
- Brighton's current XI is unchanged from its latest match; Sunderland's posted XI restores Isidor and Hume after they missed the prior start.
- The 3.32-goal projection rests on a 10-match feature sample and may be too attack-friendly.
Regression Pairs- ProphetX prices over 2.5 at +110 while under 2.5 is -111.
- Warehouse lambdas total 3.32 goals; its model assigns over 2.5 a 64.5% probability.
- Most likely loss: a 0-0, 1-0, or 2-0 result keeps the game under 2.5.

2 modelsLow Tide Line, Both NetsWhy 2 models like it
Low Tide Line- Pinnacle also makes BTTS YES the favorite at -123 versus +107 on NO, directionally agreeing with the projection.
- BTTS YES has no clean global-cohort confirmation: Polymarket offered only 1X2 contracts, not a mappable BTTS market.
Both Nets- Sunderland scoring read 77.5% (blended 1.49 xG): 1.73 xGF versus Brighton's 1.25 xGA; 20-match coverage.
- Brighton scoring read 82.1% (blended 1.72 xG): 2.14 xGF versus Sunderland's 1.29 xGA; 20-match coverage.
- A single clean sheet loses despite the high independent scoring probabilities; Sunderland's defense has allowed 1.55 xG per match over 20, but variance remains.
