Win Probability: CS Alagoano AL U20 or Santa Cruz PE U20?

To calculate the win probability, we first looked at the average odds from three bookmakers: home win 2.59, draw 2.90, away win 2.69. The inverse of these odds gives raw probabilities of 38.6%, 34.5%, and 37.2% respectively, summing to 110.3%. After normalizing to remove the bookmaker margin, the fair probabilities are 35.0% for a home win, 31.3% for a draw, and 33.7% for an away win. However, Santa Cruz PE U20’s unbeaten streak and defensive record warrant an adjustment. We therefore shift the probabilities slightly in their favor, resulting in: CS Alagoano AL U20 32%, draw 32%, Santa Cruz PE U20 36%. This means the away team is the most likely winner, but the match is extremely close.
