- Market called 12 ✓ (either team wins, no draw): called it
Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Northampton to win as the most likely result (44%). It gives Shrewsbury 24% at home, a draw 32% and Northampton 44%, so its call is 2: Northampton to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 36% / 30% / 34%, a call of 12 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 0.7 for Shrewsbury and 1.1 for Northampton; on goals, the model leans Under 2.5 at 72%. Careful: there is little recent data on Northampton, 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%.
