Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Barnsley to win as the most likely result (42%). It gives Barnsley 42% at home, a draw 24% and Leicester 34%, so its call is 12: either team to win (no draw). The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 34% / 24% / 42%, a call of 12. Expected goals are 1.7 for Barnsley and 1.5 for Leicester; on goals, the model leans Over 2.5 at 62%. Careful: there is little recent data on Leicester, 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%.
