Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Middlesbrough to win as the most likely result (41%). It gives Blackburn 28% at home, a draw 31% and Middlesbrough 41%, so its call is 2: Middlesbrough to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 25% / 26% / 49%, a call of 2. Expected goals are 1.0 for Blackburn and 1.2 for Middlesbrough; on goals, the model leans Under 2.5 at 63%.
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%.
