Results analysis

The win extends AC Oulu's run of inconsistency, as they bounce back from a defeat. However, the 1-0 scoreline belies the true story of the match, as the final score of 1-0 was far from the expected total of 3.2 goals. In fact, the actual total was well clear of this, and the most likely score of 1-1 was nowhere to be seen. The model's selection, a home win, proved correct, with Ilves unable to find the back of the net. The model's selection was the favourite, with a 38% chance of winning pre-match. It also correctly predicted a low-scoring affair, with the suggested pick of Over 1.5 goals missing, despite a 83.6% probability of it happening.
