- Market called 1 ✗ (home win): got it wrong
Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates Rotherham to win as the most likely result (41%). It gives Rotherham 41% at home, a draw 25% and Newport County 34%, so its call is 12: either team to win (no draw). The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 45% / 27% / 28%, a call of 1. Expected goals are 1.5 for Rotherham and 1.4 for Newport County; the single most likely score is 1-1. Careful: there is little recent data on Rotherham, 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.
