This event group covers a Bundesliga soccer match between 1. FSV Mainz 05 and Hamburger SV scheduled for February 20, 2026. Polymarket offers three binary markets on match outcome (Mainz win, draw, Hamburg win), while Kalshi offers four over/under markets on combined goals scored by both teams.
Polymarket and Kalshi cover different market types (match outcome vs. goal totals) with divergent cancellation logic. Polymarket's draw market resolves Yes on cancellation, while win markets resolve No; Kalshi provides no explicit cancellation rule.
Hero Tip:
Monitor both platforms for cancellation/postponement announcements. Be aware that on Polymarket, a canceled match is a draw-market win but a loss for both win markets. Kalshi goal markets lack explicit cancellation guidance; clarify with the platform before settlement.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Three binary outcome markets (Mainz win, draw, Hamburg win) resolving on 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Cancellation with no make-up: Mainz and Hamburg win markets resolve No; draw market resolves Yes. Quote: 'If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve "No"' (win markets) vs. 'this market will resolve "Yes"' (draw market).
Kalshi: Four over/under goal total markets (>3.5, >2.5, >1.5, >4.5 combined goals). Resolution based on 90 minutes plus stoppage time. No explicit cancellation clause provided. Quote: 'If Hamburg and Mainz collectively score more than X total goals... then the market resolves to Yes.'
