Half Goal Pairs- Confirmed XIs were posted at 4:00 AM PDT; coverage is clean with has_xg true and 10 xG games for each side; lambdas are Rayo 1.35, Elche 1.42.
- ProphetX comparison contracts lean Rayo: 2-way Rayo -280 and 90-minute Rayo YES -124, so the play is model-led rather than consensus-led.
Deep Book- Most likely loss: Rayo Vallecano wins by one or more goals; the warehouse model does not provide a margin distribution.
- Total goals under 2.5−100%Lost

2 modelsTeam Sheet Pairs, Deep BookWhy 2 models like it
Team Sheet Pairs- Rayo list Raúl de Tomás, Augusto Batalla and Luiz Felipe out; Elche list Marc Aguado and Yago Santiago out, while the confirmed replacement XI is now known.
- ProphetX had already moved the total from opening 2.5 under +102 to the current +120, so some under sentiment was priced before the lineup.
Deep Book- Both sides are quoted and the under clears the $300 size gate. Price is inside the -250 to +300 band.
- LEAN. Flow is strong, but only 43.0% of depth is at the best rung; this is not concentrated refill evidence.
- Most likely loss: three or more goals; the 2.5 line has no push protection.

Snapp Decision of the Day- Elche's away opp-adjusted xGA is 1.33 versus Rayo's home 1.75.
- Rayo's L5 is better at 2-1-2 versus Elche's 1-1-3.
Number Earned- Warehouse Dixon-Coles model makes Elche 38.4%; I haircut that to 34.5% for model uncertainty.
- Kalshi Elche YES costs 21¢; my 34.5% estimate implies roughly 13.5 percentage points of edge.
- DraftKings and Pinnacle strongly oppose the model, pricing Elche around +360/+364; Kalshi's own mid-price is only 20.5¢.

- A rough Poisson inversion of Kalshi's 54.5% over price implies about 2.86 goals, modestly above the 2.78 xG estimate.
- no same-rung sharp check; Pinnacle's live 2.75 total is off-line and excluded from the comparison.
- Pressing inputs are proxy-based: Elche PPDA 11.71 and Rayo 9.67, with dangerous-attacks field-tilt proxies rather than robust event data.
