The reasoning

On the match result the model has England at 60 percent, with the draw at 23 percent. That is a lean, not a strong one, so the draw is a live outcome here. The model expects roughly 1.9 goals from England and 1.0 from Czechia, a combined 2.9, which is around the average for a competitive fixture. Three markets clear our bar on this fixture: England or draw at 82 percent, England (draw no bet) at 77 percent and England to win at 60 percent. The most likely exact scoreline is 1-1, though at 10.7 percent that is a long shot by the nature of the correct score market. It does not publish a pick on over 2.5 goals and both teams to score here, which means the numbers did not clear the bar rather than that we forgot to look. A market with no pick is the model saying it sees no edge.
