Identifying the favourite

After analyzing both teams' last 8 matches, we've assigned 183 points to the home team and 333 points to the away team. This suggests that one team has an advantage over the other. However, it's important to consider that the home team (Santos Laguna) is playing on their own turf, which may slightly improve their chances of winning.

To determine what percentage of victories each team achieves at home and away, we've compiled statistics from several recent years to eliminate any chance-related factors. It turns out that 63.49% of victories for the team Santos Laguna occurred in home matches. For the team Leon this indicator is 63.16%. On average, this equates to 63.33%, suggesting a slight advantage for Santos Laguna all other things being equal.

Now, to determine the favorite of the match, we will take 63.33% of the home team's points and 36.68% of the away team's points. It turns out that the favorite of the match is Leon with an advantage of 122 points against 116. If we convert it to a percentage ratio, it will be 51.33% to 48.67%.

Bookmakers odds and probability

Match prediction

As a result of the analysis conducted, an inaccuracy was found in the bookmaker's line. In our opinion, the probability of Santos Laguna's victory is an order of magnitude higher than what the bookmakers think. The difference is 17.61%. The coefficient for the team's victory is 4.39, while in reality, it should be 2.68.

Our mathematical algorithm has detected significant inaccuracies in the bookmakers' odds for this match. Such a large difference can only mean that we have not taken into account some important factor that allows the bookmakers to set such odds. We cannot confidently recommend using our prediction for betting on this match, as the potential profit will be minimal.
