Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Sheffield Weds to win as the most likely result (42%). It gives Sheffield Weds 42% at home, a draw 27% and Bradford 31%, so its call is 1: Sheffield Weds to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 35% / 27% / 38%, a call of 12. Expected goals are 1.3 for Sheffield Weds and 1.1 for Bradford; on goals, the model leans Under 2.5 at 57%. Careful: there is little recent data on Sheffield Weds, 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%.
