- Opponent-adjusted rates imply Athletic Club 1.86 goals and Real Sociedad 1.10, for a 2.96-goal total.
- Pinnacle's sharp anchor is 2.75 goals (+102 over, -114 under), supporting a higher total than the Kalshi price implies.
- Both Kalshi sides are quoted with a 1¢ spread; the over rung has about 11,940 contracts traded and is not thin.
- The model's 56.8% is only about 2.8 percentage points above price, so ordinary soccer variance can erase the edge.
- Athletic Club spread −1.5−100%Lost
