Who wins?
Brit Predictor's model rates FC Koln to win as the most likely result (40%). It gives FC Koln 40% at home, a draw 35% and Schalke 04 25%, so its call is 1X: FC Koln to win or draw. The bookmakers, with their margin removed, have it 44% / 26% / 30%, a call of 1. Expected goals are 1.0 for FC Koln and 0.7 for Schalke 04; the single most likely score is 0-0. Careful: there is little recent data on Schalke 04, 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.
