Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Nacional to win as the most likely result (45%). It gives Nacional 45% at home, a draw 27% and Alverca 28%, so its call is 1: Nacional to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 34% / 28% / 38%, a call of 12 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 1.3 for Nacional and 1.0 for Alverca; on goals, the model leans Under 2.5 at 59%.
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%.
