Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Sheffield United to win as the most likely result (53%). It gives Sheffield United 53% at home, a draw 28% and Bolton 19%, so its call is 1: Sheffield United to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 58% / 23% / 19%, a call of 1. Expected goals are 1.5 for Sheffield United and 0.8 for Bolton; on goals, the model leans Under 2.5 at 60%. Careful: there is little recent data on Bolton, 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%.
