Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Watford to win as the most likely result (40%). It gives Watford 40% at home, a draw 31% and Stoke 29%, so its call is 1X: Watford to win or draw. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 42% / 28% / 30%, a call of 1. Expected goals are 1.3 for Watford and 1.0 for Stoke; on goals, the model leans Under 2.5 at 60%.
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%.
