Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Real Madrid to win as the most likely result (78%). It gives Real Madrid 78% at home, a draw 14% and Malaga 8%, so its call is 1: Real Madrid to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 91% / 7% / 3%, a call of 1 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 2.5 for Real Madrid and 0.7 for Malaga; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 62%. Careful: there is little recent data on Malaga, 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%.
