Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Karlsruhe to win as the most likely result (57%). It gives Karlsruhe 57% at home, a draw 18% and Cottbus 25%, so its call is 1: Karlsruhe to win. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 52% / 21% / 27%, a call of 1. Expected goals are 2.7 for Karlsruhe and 1.8 for Cottbus; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 83%. Careful: there is little recent data on Cottbus, 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%.
