Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Rio Ave to win as the most likely result (37%). It gives Rio Ave 37% at home, a draw 27% and Nacional 36%, so its call is 12: either team to win (no draw). The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 45% / 28% / 27%, a call of 1 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 1.3 for Rio Ave and 1.2 for Nacional; the single most likely score is 1-1.
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.
