Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Reading to win as the most likely result (47%). It gives Cambridge 29% at home, a draw 24% and Reading 47%, so its call is 2: Reading to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 35% / 28% / 37%, a call of 12. Expected goals are 1.2 for Cambridge and 1.6 for Reading; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 55%. Careful: there is little recent data on Cambridge, 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%.
