Before Borussia Dortmund drew with Sporting CP 0–0, the SharpXI model made 14 confident calls on the player markets and 9 landed — the strongest being Julien Duranville for 1+ fouls committed (85%, had 1).

Frequently asked
How did the SharpXI model do on Borussia Dortmund v Sporting CP?
9 of its 14 most-confident calls landed. The board on this page lists every one with the model's pre-kickoff probability next to what actually happened, hits and misses in the same table.
What did the model get wrong on Borussia Dortmund v Sporting CP?
The most confident call it got wrong was Giovanni Reyna at 79% for fouls committed — shown in the same table as the hits, marked with a cross. A record that hides its misses isn't a record, so we don't.
Are these probabilities hindsight?
No. Each one is the number the model produced from data available before kick-off, using the same settings as every other fixture on the site — nothing was refitted after the result. That is the only way a per-match report means anything.
Does one match tell you if the model is any good in the UEFA Champions League?
No, and we'd rather say so. A single fixture is a handful of calls and mostly noise; the season-long, market-by-market record — including the markets that fail to beat a naive guess — is on the track record page.
SharpXI models probabilities from public match data; it does not take bets or guarantee outcomes. Prices are entered per leg in the tool. 18+ — please gamble responsibly.
