Match intelligence and risks
Arsenal v Leeds: Arsenal’s 2.13–1.19 pre-match xG advantage favours the home side. Leeds are unbeaten, and Arsenal have injury concerns. Investigate Arsenal win or 1X.
Sunderland v Brighton: Brighton’s pre-match xG 2.05 versus Sunderland’s 1.27 and stronger recent form support investigating X2. Multiple Brighton fitness doubts weaken conviction.
Aston Villa v Brentford: Brentford’s 1.61–0.89 pre-match xG edge and unbeaten start suggest X2, but Villa’s home setting and Brentford injury doubts make this fragile.
Ipswich v Fulham: Ipswich home PPG 1.5 versus Fulham away PPG 0.5; xG is close at 1.30 versus 1.18. Only a weak 1X lean.
Manchester United v Tottenham: United pre-match xG 2.51 versus Spurs 1.16 suggests 1X. Both sides have significant injuries and poor early form.
Chelsea v Bournemouth: Early-sample over 1.5, over 2.5 and BTTS indicators are each 100%, but derive from only five matches. Consider goals markets only after team news.

FIS formula and data coverage
FIS = 50 + (18×stakes + 22×availability + 15×recovery + 15×tactical fit + 10×environment + 10×information integrity + 10×market alignment) ÷ 4. Each component is rated −2 to +2; neutral or insufficiently supported factors are rated zero. These are analyst contextual ratings, not a statistically calibrated model. Information confidence starts at 50, adds 10 each for fixture/statistics, current team news and independent corroboration, then deducts 10 for the small five-game sample and 5–10 for material lineup doubts or conflicting reports.
