Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Port Vale to win as the most likely result (65%). It gives Port Vale 65% at home, a draw 20% and Tranmere 15%, so its call is 1: Port Vale to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 49% / 27% / 23%, a call of 1 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 2.0 for Port Vale and 0.8 for Tranmere; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 52%. Careful: there is little recent data on Port Vale, 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%.
