Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Preston to win as the most likely result (36%). It gives Preston 36% at home, a draw 29% and Bristol City 35%, so its call is 12: either team to win (no draw). The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 35% / 27% / 38%, a call of 12. Expected goals are 1.2 for Preston and 1.2 for Bristol City; on goals, the model leans Under 2.5 at 55%.
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%.
