Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Rochdale to win as the most likely result (38%). It gives Rochdale 38% at home, a draw 29% and Shrewsbury 34%, so its call is 12: either team to win (no draw). The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 42% / 28% / 30%, a call of 1. Expected goals are 1.1 for Rochdale and 1.1 for Shrewsbury; on goals, the model leans Under 2.5 at 62%. Careful: there is little recent data on Rochdale, 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%.
