Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Bristol City to win as the most likely result (38%). It gives Bristol City 38% at home, a draw 27% and Sheffield United 34%, so its call is 12: either team to win (no draw). The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 48% / 27% / 25%, a call of 1 — a clear disagreement with the model. Expected goals are 1.4 for Bristol City and 1.3 for Sheffield United; 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.
