Tranmere vs Rotherham prediction

- Model called 2 ✗ (away win): got it wrong
- Market called 1 ✗ (home win): got it wrong
Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Rotherham to win as the most likely result (45%). It gives Tranmere 29% at home, a draw 25% and Rotherham 45%, so its call is 2: Rotherham to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 42% / 27% / 31%, a call of 1 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 1.1 for Tranmere and 1.5 for Rotherham; on goals, the model leans Under 2.5 at 51%. Careful: there is little recent data on Rotherham, 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%.
