The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 31% / 27% / 41%, a call of 12. Expected goals are 1.4 for Walsall and 1.3 for Grimsby; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 50%.
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%.
