Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Chelsea to win as the most likely result (42%). It gives Chelsea 42% at home, a draw 27% and Brighton 31%, so its call is 1: Chelsea to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 53% / 24% / 24%, a call of 1 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 1.6 for Chelsea and 1.3 for Brighton; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 56%.
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%.
