Similarly, for Young Lions, we analyze their last 8 matches using the same approach.

Identifying the favourite

After analyzing both teams' last 8 matches, we've assigned 198 points to the home team and 135 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 (Tanjong Pagar) 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 62.86% of victories for the team Tanjong Pagar occurred in home matches. For the team Young Lions this indicator is 54.41%. On average, this equates to 58.64%, suggesting a slight advantage for Tanjong Pagar all other things being equal.

Now, to determine the favorite of the match, we will take 58.64% of the home team's points and 41.37% of the away team's points. It turns out that the favorite of the match is Tanjong Pagar with an advantage of 116 points against 56. If we convert it to a percentage ratio, it will be 67.39% to 32.61%.

Bookmakers odds and probability

Now let's see who the bookmakers consider the favorite and compare their data with our calculations. The bookmakers estimate the probability of a draw in this match at 22.42% with a coefficient of 4.46. The coefficient for the home team's victory is 2.51, and for the away team's victory it is 2.64. If we exclude the draw, the probability of the home team's victory will be 51.27%, and the away team's victory - 48.73%. This differs from our calculations.

Match prediction

As a result of the analysis conducted, an inaccuracy was found in the bookmaker's line. In our opinion, the probability of Tanjong Pagar's victory is an order of magnitude higher than what the bookmakers think. The difference is 16.13%. The coefficient for the team's victory is 2.51, while in reality, it should be 1.91.

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.
