The draw stunned the pundits, as the pre-match favourite, Tottenham, was expected to win with a 53% probability. The model’s call was therefore wrong, and the final score of 2-2 confirmed a draw. Brentford’s unbeaten run in their last five games, highlighted by a 1-1 draw against Leeds, kept them competitive. Tottenham, after a recent 0-2 defeat to Newcastle, could not convert their 53% chance into a win. The model’s other selections all hit: Over 2.5 cards at 86.9%, Under 25.5 fouls at 85.0%, Over 1.5 goals at 80.8%, Under 23.5 fouls at 73.2%, and Over 3.5 cards at 72.4%. The match delivered more drama than the model predicted.
