Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Mechelen to win as the most likely result (39%). It gives Mechelen 39% at home, a draw 32% and Standard 29%, so its call is 1X: Mechelen to win or draw. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 33% / 29% / 37%, a call of 12. Expected goals are 1.2 for Mechelen and 1.0 for Standard; on goals, the model leans Under 2.5 at 64%.
Rebuilt after kick-off using only matches played before it. A double chance (1X, X2, 12) is called when the top two results are within 10 points. A goals call (O2.5 or U2.5) is made only when the model gives one side at least 65%.
