This event group covers the professional EPL soccer match between Aston Villa FC (home) and Leeds United FC (away) scheduled for February 21, 2026. Markets span three outcome categories: Leeds win, Aston Villa win, and draw, plus granular margin-of-victory thresholds on Kalshi.
Polymarket and Kalshi differ on how cancellation is handled. Polymarket explicitly resolves the draw market to Yes if canceled (no make-up), while win/loss resolve No; Kalshi margin markets lack explicit cancellation language, creating ambiguity.
Hero Tip:
Treat Polymarket draw and win/loss as inverse cancellation bets if you believe cancellation risk is material. On Kalshi, assume margin markets resolve No if no match occurs, but verify with platform support. Hedge across platforms if cancellation probability is non-trivial.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Three binary markets (Leeds win, Aston Villa win, draw) all reference postponement (market stays open) and cancellation. Win/loss markets resolve No on cancellation; draw market resolves Yes on cancellation. Scope: 90 minutes plus stoppage time only. Key Quote: 'If the game is canceled entirely, with no make-up game, this market will resolve "No"' (win/loss) and 'this market will resolve "Yes"' (draw).
Kalshi: Four margin-of-victory markets (Aston Villa >2.5, >1.5; Leeds >2.5, >1.5 goals) specify the match is 'originally scheduled for Feb 21, 2026' and scope is 90 minutes plus stoppage time, but do not explicitly address postponement or cancellation. Resolution is conditional on a margin being achieved, with no fallback clause. Key Quote: 'If [team] wins by more than [X] goals in the Leeds United at Aston Villa professional EPL soccer game originally scheduled for Feb 21, 2026 after 90 minutes plus stoppage time, then the market resolves to Yes.'
