KuPS vs Craiova: Why the Published Numbers Need Checking
The KuPS–Craiova archive contains an incomplete result distribution and incompatible scoring estimates. Here is how to identify those problems.
The earlier KuPS–Universitatea Craiova preview quoted a high-scoring forecast. Before interpreting that forecast, two consistency problems need to be resolved.
Result percentages do not total 100%
The archived figures were KuPS win 63.97%, draw 13.13% and Craiova win 19.66%. Their sum is 96.76%, leaving 3.24 percentage points unexplained.
That is too large to be explained by rounding three percentages to two decimal places. We have preserved the discrepancy rather than changing an outcome to force a total of 100%.
BTTS is outside the permitted bounds
The article quoted KuPS to score at 98.35% and Craiova at 91.92%. For those same scoring events, BTTS must be at least 90.27% and no greater than 91.92%.
The published BTTS estimate, 84.27%, is below that lower bound. These values cannot all come from one coherent distribution for the same events. The article cannot determine whether the cause is a copy error, mixed definitions, different runs or a workbook issue.
Ratio fields require a definition
The earlier goals table interpreted ratios such as 1.04 as decimal prices and converted them to percentages. The reciprocal of 1.04 is about 96.15%, but arithmetic alone cannot establish that a field labelled “Ratio” represents odds.
A displayed ratio of 1.00 is also too coarsely rounded to justify a claim of certainty. The unrounded value and field definition matter.
What a reliable replacement needs
Recover the fixture-specific output and identify the source data, product version, generation time, market period and meaning of each ratio. Then check the totals and joint-event bounds before publishing a replacement interpretation.
The previous form totals, squad notes and external statistics were not linked to reproducible primary evidence. They have been removed from the analysis, along with leftover publishing instructions.

Correction, 19 September 2026: Flagged the 96.76% result total and incompatible BTTS estimate; removed unsourced statistics, team news and leftover publishing instructions.
