UTC Cajamarca vs FBC Melgar
No sharp market price is available for this match. Our own model makes FBC Melgar the most likely outcome at 59%; we make no value call without a sharp benchmark. Recent form — UTC Cajamarca: LLLLL; FBC Melgar: WDDWW.
The most likely result is not the same as value: value is where a bookmaker pays more than the fair price, and the two can point to different outcomes.

These prices come from a feed that refreshes every few hours, so a bookmaker above the fair price here is not a value flag: we only flag value against a sharp price at most 90 minutes old. Double chance comes from the 1X2 fair probabilities. On whole and quarter lines part or all of the stake can be refunded, so we show only the fair price there: the break-even price of that bet, not a win probability. Bookmaker prices more than 12% above the fair price are left out as feed errors.

Over 2.5 goals: UTC Cajamarca in 60% and FBC Melgar in 50% of their recent matches; the market prices it at 56% for this match.
From 10 matches for UTC Cajamarca and 10 for FBC Melgar. xG, corners and cards: 9 and 10 matches with statistics. Form is public information, so the fair price already includes it: a team's record is context, not a reason to bet.
Match context
The last 3 head-to-head meetings we tracked split 0–0–3 (UTC Cajamarca wins – draws – FBC Melgar wins).
UTC Cajamarca scored 1 and conceded 2 across their last 5 matches in our results database; FBC Melgar scored 2.2 and conceded 1 in 5.
These figures come from our own tracked results and odds snapshots for this fixture — not from a generic stats feed.
Market-relevant trends
We show the trend and whether it is already in the price. Most sites show the streak and let you assume you should bet it.
Why this price?
Recent form and head-to-head from our settled results — context behind the fair price. The price itself comes from the sharp market, not from these alone.
Public, timestamped record
This hash fingerprints the prediction as recorded: teams, kick-off time, our model probabilities, the Pinnacle prices recorded for it (at logging or, if there were none, the first quoted after logging and before kick-off, which can be written in after the match) and the log time. A later edit to any of them would change it (a rescheduled kick-off changes it too). It does not cover closing prices, the result or the value-bet record above; value flags recorded live have their own seal in the public record. Verify in the public record →
Every day a snapshot of the full public record is published to a public Git repository and timestamped with OpenTimestamps. Timestamped snapshots are never overwritten and the Git history shows any difference, so a later change to a past row is visible by comparing two snapshots. The corrections file lists the corrections we announced. Verify on the public log →
Since 20 June 2026 the public record is snapshotted daily (07:40 Bucharest time: 04:40 UTC in summer time, 05:40 UTC in winter) to an external log. A prediction is externally timestamped before kick-off only if it was in a snapshot taken before the match; predictions logged on match day, or whose Pinnacle price was added after logging, first appear there after kick-off. Value flags have been recorded live only since 26 September 2026; earlier value flags were reconstructed on that date.
Methodology
The fair price comes from the sharp market itself: we strip the margin from Pinnacle-style odds — the most accurate public predictor in existence — and use our calibrated Elo + form model as a cross-check and as the fallback where no sharp price exists. Value is flagged only where a softer bookmaker prices a selection above that fair price, never on long shots (implied probability under 30%), and never beyond a plausible band. Most of the time there is no value — and we say so.
