Market-model gaps are minimal: Ecuador 36.58% (model) vs 38.46% (market) = -1.88% gap; Ivory Coast 31.92% (model) vs 29.5% (market) = +2.42% gap (slight IC edge); but 31.49% draw probability makes this a true 3-way toss-up — edge is erased by draw risk.

Key Factors

  • High draw probability: 31.49% — nearly 1 in 3 outcomes is draw, erasing edge
  • Minimal xG gap: Ivory Coast 1.47 vs Ecuador 1.59 (Ecuador -0.12) — suggests Ecuador is actually better
  • Slight IC edge on ML: Model 31.92% vs market 29.5% = +2.42% — tempting, but draws steal it
  • Market-model alignment: Ecuador 36.58% (model) vs 38.46% (market) = -1.88% gap — near perfect agreement
  • Zone penalty: Home ML is RED (42.3% WR) — fighting regime; even +2.42% edge insufficient

Risk Factors

  • Draw dominance: 31.49% draw probability makes this effectively 3-way; +2.42% edge disappears
  • xG mismatch: Ecuador has slight xG edge (-0.12), contradicting Ivory Coast bet
  • Red zone home ML: 42.3% WR means historical -7.7% ROI on home picks like this
