Model probabilities Jiri Lehecka 82.3% · Rafael Jodar 17.7% Why Jiri Lehecka is favoured Jiri Lehecka's Elo (1739) is +177 over Rafael Jodar (1562); low confidence. But — counter-arguments Elo confidence is low (15%) — ratings are based on a thin sample, so the prediction itself is wider than the headline number suggests. +EV vs market home: model 82.3% vs market 46.7% (edge +76.2%, suggested Kelly +25.0% of bankroll). Confidence note Elo data on these teams is thin (15% sample-size confidence); headline number is sharper than the underlying signal — treat it as directional, not absolute.
