- Market called 12 ✗ (either team wins, no draw): got it wrong
Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Wrexham to win as the most likely result (46%). It gives Cardiff 29% at home, a draw 25% and Wrexham 46%, so its call is 2: Wrexham to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 39% / 26% / 35%, a call of 12 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 1.3 for Cardiff and 1.7 for Wrexham; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 59%. Careful: there is little recent data on Cardiff, usually a promoted side, and the market tends to be right about those.
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%.
