FA Cup: how we make our predictions
FA Cup (England): before every match we compare the odds of several bookmakers and use them to derive our tip and the estimated probability of a 1, X or 2 result.
- The tip is our pick of the most probable outcome. Where the favourite leads only by a small margin, double chance is what we recommend.
- The coloured 1 – X – 2 bar splits our estimate into three parts: home win (1), draw (X) and away win (2).
- Fair odds are calculated as 1 divided by the probability. Odds from a bookmaker above the fair odds can point to value, but there is no guarantee.
Completed matches are in the results, the remaining rounds in the fixture list and the top scorers in the scorers ranking.
