Probability

45%

Grant Holloway (USA), 2024 Olympic champion and three-time world champion, faces his toughest rival in Budapest's opening evening: compatriot Ja'Kobe Tharp, who set a world record of 12.75 sec in June 2026. Holloway has superior championship-IQ (unbeaten in WC finals 2019, 2022, 2023), but Tharp is currently the fastest man on the circuit. Aggregated bookmaker odds imply ~44–46% for Holloway ahead of Tharp (~35%). No Polymarket/Kalshi odds for individual athletics events; calibrated on aggregated bookmaker data.

Data basis for this prediction

World Athletics Budapest 2026 Schedule: 110m-H-Finale Männer, 11. September 2026, Nat. Athletics Centre Budapest (worldathletics.org, Sept 2026)
Ja'Kobe Tharp: neuer 110m-Hürden-Weltrekord 12,75 s (Juni 2026, worldathletics.org / NBC Sports)
Grant Holloway: 2024 Olympic Champion Paris, 3x Weltmeister (Team USA, NBC Sports, 2024)
Buchmacherquoten aggregiert: Holloway ~2,20–2,25 (impliziert ~44–45%), Stand 10.09.2026

Verdict: Miss

Ja'Kobe Tharp (USA) gewann das 110-m-Hürdenfinale am 11. September 2026 in Budapest in 12,94 s – denkbar knapp (0,01 s) vor Cordell Tinch (12,95 s). Grant Holloway startete gar nicht: Er hatte sich im März 2026 einen Hamstring-Riss zugezogen und bestritt in der gesamten Saison 2026 kein einziges Rennen. Damit entfiel nicht nur der vorhergesagte Sieger, sondern der Ausgang war für Holloway aus strukturellen Gründen unmöglich. Die Vorhersage unterschätzte Tharps aktuelle Form und konnte Holloways Verletzung naturgemäß nicht einpreisen.

Manchester City (2026/27 record: 5-1) host SSC Napoli on 24 November 2026 at the Etihad. Bookmaker odds imply ~80% for a City home win (quote ~1/4); a Napoli away win trades at ~10/1 (~9% implied).

Market anchor: bookmaker odds imply 79–80%; own estimate follows the conservative model value of 66%, as Napoli historically respond better to continental pressure than their domestic form alone suggests.

Borussia Dortmund defeats SV 07 Elversberg — Bundesliga Matchday 9 (Signal Iduna Park, 7 November 2026, confirmed via bundesliga.com or DFL by 7 November 2026, 18:00 CET)

BVB sits 2nd in the Bundesliga after 8 matchdays (18 pts) with the best defence in the league (6 goals conceded). Bookmaker odds for a Dortmund home win imply ~79% (quote ~1.26); statistical models put BVB at 74.96%. Expected Goals: BVB 2.47 xG vs. Elversberg 0.81 xG. Elversberg failed to score in three consecutive away fixtures — no other club in the division is currently as barren on the road. Probability set slightly below market implied to account for Elversberg's proven giant-killing capacity this season.

RB Leipzig defeats FC Augsburg — Bundesliga Matchday 9 (Red Bull Arena, Leipzig, 7 November 2026, confirmed via bundesliga.com or DFL by 7 November 2026, 18:00 CET)

RB Leipzig have never lost a Bundesliga home fixture against FC Augsburg (10 games: 9 wins, 1 draw). Augsburg are currently on a 6-match winless run (3 draws, 3 losses) — the longest such drought in the top flight right now. Winger Antonio Nusa is in excellent form; a Leipzig win would set a Bundesliga record against Augsburg. Bookmaker odds imply ~60% (quote ~1.65); the unblemished home record and Augsburg's poor form justify raising the estimate to 65%.
