Our numbers
| Outcome | Our chance | Fair price | Best price seen | Edge |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monza | 34.5% | 2.90 | ||
| Draw | 26.4% | 3.79 | ||
| Cagliari | 39.0% | 2.56 | 3.30, Betfair | +8.7 pts |
The 3.30 was quoted at 08:48 UTC on 15 October. At that price the market implied about 30.3% for Cagliari, nearly nine points under our chance. Wide edges on away sides in three-way markets are exactly where draws punish you; the logic is in double chance betting explained.
What moved the number
- Monza's defensive absences. FotMob and Monza News list Lorenzo Lucchesi suspended, with Matteo Pessina, Jan Ziółkowski and Idrissa Touré unavailable. Ciurria was doubtful in those round-ups.
- Cagliari have their own holes. Felici and Idrissi are long-term ACL absences. TuttoCagliari says Yael Trepy is increasing load and may be called; Kevin Carlos is back in full training.
- Away pick at 39%. Even when that chance is right, Cagliari lose or draw more often than they win. An 8.7 point edge does not make the result likely.
What could make us wrong
If Monza name a settled back three and Cagliari's attack stays blunt without Felici, the home price looks better than our 34.5%. A draw at 26.4% is a large slice. Line-ups an hour before kick-off can move Serie A prices more than midweek injury lists.
What this does not tell you
It does not say Cagliari will win. It says 3.30 looked long for a side we give 39%. It is match result only. It does not cover handicaps or goals markets.
18+. Bet only what you can afford to lose.
