Forecast
Goal forecasts and exposed forecast values, useful to model offensive and defensive potential.
Fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
home_goals | number | Forecast goals for the home team. |
away_goals | number | Forecast goals for the away team. |
total_goals | number | Forecast total goals, home_goals plus away_goals. |
Example
Real values, taken from the same published payload the API returns (GET /v1/matches/{match_id}):
{
"forecast": {
"home_goals": 1.72,
"away_goals": 0.94,
"total_goals": 2.66
}
}
How to read it. forecast is a flat object. total_goals (2.66) sits just above the 2.5 line, which is consistent with the over_under_2_5 probabilities in the same payload.
