Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Walsall to win as the most likely result (67%). It gives Walsall 67% at home, a draw 19% and Rochdale 14%, so its call is 1: Walsall to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 55% / 24% / 21%, a call of 1 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 2.2 for Walsall and 0.9 for Rochdale; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 59%. Careful: there is little recent data on Rochdale, 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%.
