The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 58% / 22% / 20%, a call of 1. Expected goals are 2.2 for Southampton and 1.1 for Bristol City; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 64%.
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%.
