The actual result matched our pre-match lean. One match never validates a model — results are noisy by nature.
Full-time / regulation result. Sums to 100%.
South Korea 45%, draw 28%, Czechia 27%.
This is our latest read, with current confirmed team news folded into the model (see “What we considered” below). Our track record always grades the locked pre-match call we made before lineups were posted — so this number may differ slightly from the one on the results page. We never rewrite a locked prediction.
Expected goals and control are derived estimates from the model's ratings — indicative leans, not measured match stats.
Over 2.5 goals: 48% · Under 2.5: 52%.
Every factor the model weighed for this match — including the ones worth nothing. Each is capped so it can nudge, never flip, a clear matchup. A “no change” line means we considered it and had no reliable data — that transparency is the point, not a gap.
Neutral venue — no host, no home-field advantage (0).
South Korea hold a slight edge in pedigree and control, but this is no runaway favourite—Czechia's defensive shape and countering threat keep the game genuinely competitive. The model flags high upset risk; a draw is the most likely outcome, which tells you how tight the margins are.
South Korea's tempo-setting midfield against Czechia's compact, counter-attacking shape.
The model's low confidence signals fine margins—execution and a single moment matter more than team class.
AI-generated context based on a statistical model. Full-time/regulation result only. Not betting advice; no specific current team-news is used.
Display-only — none of this is used in the prediction above.
Context only — these confirmed lineups are not used in the prediction above. By kick-off, public team news is already reflected in any market line.
Lineups not available. We only show a confirmed starting XI when we can match this exact fixture to a Flashscore event — we never guess or invent one.
Venue not available. We only show a stadium when we can match this exact fixture to a Flashscore event or it's in our scheduled-venue data — we never guess one.
Venue is shown for information only and is not used in the prediction.
Real measured stats for this match — shown for transparency. They are not part of the prediction above, which is a pre-match estimate from team ratings.
Match stats not available. They appear once a match is under way and Flashscore is carrying live stats for it — we never invent them.
Screenshot to share — the honesty note travels with it.
Predictions are estimates, not advice. WisePicks is a fan dashboard, not a betting product. The numbers come from a simple statistical model. They carry real uncertainty and can be wrong. We don't show odds or encourage gambling.

shorter-than-average squad (5 tallest outfielders ~188cm vs a ~190cm field) → -2 Elo set-piece nudge. Estimated from squad height (a rough proxy, weighted toward aerial defence); modest by design.
taller-than-average squad (5 tallest outfielders ~193cm vs a ~190cm field) → +5 Elo set-piece nudge. Estimated from squad height (a rough proxy, weighted toward aerial defence); modest by design.
Over 7 tournament matches: xG-for 0.95/g, xG-against 1.78/g (xGD -0.83/g, -1.5 SD vs the field). Shrunk for a 7-game sample → -16 Elo. The team ran hotter than its chance quality; a bounded, modest chance-quality nudge.
Over 8 tournament matches: xG-for 1.27/g, xG-against 1.21/g (xGD +0.06/g, +0.0 SD vs the field). Shrunk for a 8-game sample → +0 Elo. The team created better chances than it converted; a bounded, modest chance-quality nudge.

Considered — deferred (0). Extreme heat/humidity mainly lowers tempo and scoring, not who wins; we don't apply it as an outcome factor.
Considered — no weather data for this venue/date (0). Weather only nudges the goal total; it does not move who wins.
Considered — no reliable neutral-venue crowd-composition data (0). We won't fabricate a partisan-crowd estimate.
Player availability uses a curated key-player heuristic against the confirmed starting XI (via Flashscore), not a fitted impact model. Weather is real match-day data from Open-Meteo and only nudges the goal total — its measured effect on who wins is ~zero. We only ever apply a factor on real, confirmed data; otherwise it is exactly 0.
At least one factor moved the prediction on real confirmed data; the rest were considered and contributed nothing.
