The model's selection is the away win, with a 39% chance of success, making it the favourite to take home the three points. The model also suggests Over 1.5 goals, with a 77.4% probability of hitting, and Under 3.5 goals, with a 70.1% probability of success.

Results analysis

The upset of the day belongs to FK Kukesi, who stunned Besa Kavajë 2-1. This win extends their run of form, which includes a win in their last outing against Butrinti Sarandë. The model's selection was the away win, but it was incorrect, as the home side proved too strong. Besa Kavajë had been coming off a defeat, but they still managed to score the opener. The model's call was wrong, as FK Kukesi were not the favourites. In fact, the model's selection, the away win, had a pre-match probability of 39%. The model's suggested picks, however, were correct, as both the Over 1.5 and Under 3.5 selections hit. The Over 1.5 had a pre-match probability of 77.4%, while the Under 3.5 had a pre-match probability of 70.1%.
