If the actual score is not one of the explicitly listed outcomes, the market resolves to "Any Other Score." If the match is postponed, the market will remain open until it is completed; if it is canceled with no make-up game, the market resolves to "0-0." The primary resolution source for this market is the official statistics of the event as recognized by the governing body or event organizers. However, if the governing body or event organizers have not published final match statistics within 2 hours after the event's conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead.

Revisions to officially declared final scores made after market resolution will not be accounted for in determining the outcome.
Espanyol host Real Madrid at RCDE Stadium on August 22 in La Liga Matchday 2, with both sides entering the 2026-27 campaign on limited competitive minutes and incomplete injury reports. The tight clustering of exact-score probabilities reflects the inherent variance in low-sample early-season fixtures, where Espanyol’s home defensive organization can produce low-scoring or draw outcomes while Madrid’s superior attacking depth supports multiple goal tallies. Recent preseason results and squad depth provide little clarity on starting lineups or tactical adjustments, leaving traders to weigh home advantage against Madrid’s historical dominance in this fixture without a decisive edge emerging for any single scoreline.
