Derry City are the clear favourites, with a 51% chance of victory, a 29% chance of a draw and only a 20% chance of Sligo Rovers winning. The match is expected to see 2.3 goals, centring on a 2-goal total that carries a 28% probability. The single most likely scoreline is 1-0 for Derry City, with a 13.8% chance. Derry have been prolific at home, averaging 1.8 goals scored and only 0.6 conceded against weaker opposition, while Sligo, playing away against stronger teams, have struggled, scoring just 0.5 and conceding 1.75 on average. The model’s selection is Under 3.5 goals, with an 80.6% probability of hitting. The match is expected to be a tight affair, but the data favours a Derry City win.
Results analysis
The pre-match favourite, Derry City, failed to deliver as the match finished 1-1, a draw that extended their recent run of mixed results. The model had picked a home win with a 51% probability, but that call proved wrong. The only other selection was Under 3.5 goals, which the model assigned an 80.6% probability and it hit, as the total of two goals fell short of 3.5. The final score of 1-1 matched the model’s most likely outcome, 1-0, which had a 13.8% chance, but the draw itself was the actual result. Overall, the model’s favourite was incorrect, yet its single other suggestion proved accurate.
