The upset came early as Gzira United snatched a 1-0 away victory, extending their winless streak to four games. The pre-match favourite was Floriana, with a 36% chance of triumph, but the model’s call was wrong. The model’s selection of Over 1.5 goals, at 75.1%, missed, while its Under 3.5 pick, at 73.0%, hit. The match finished 0-1, an away win that defied the 35% probability of a Gzira victory. Floriana’s unbeaten run in their last five matches was halted, and Gzira’s form continued to slide after a 1-2 loss to Balzan FC. The final score and outcome confirm the model’s prediction was incorrect.
