The model’s other selections were mixed: Over 19.5 fouls hit at 82.8 %, Over 2.5 cards hit at 81.2 %, Under 3.5 hit at 70.2 %, while Over 1.5 missed at 77.3 % and Under 5.5 cards missed at 72.4 %. Colchester’s recent form, a win after a WDLWL run, did not translate into victory, whereas Notts County’s unbeaten streak in their last five kept them in the hunt.
