The upset came early as Gagra edged Saburtalo 2-1, overturning the pre-match favourite. The model had tipped an away win with a 39% probability, but that call proved wrong. The final score of 2-1 gave Gagra a home win, a result that was not predicted. The model’s selection of Over 1.5 goals hit, with a 76% chance, and its Under 3.5 pick also hit, at 71.9%. Gagra’s recent form - five matches of LDDDD and a 0-3 loss to Rustavi - had been shaky, yet they managed a victory. Saburtalo, after three straight defeats and a 1-2 loss to Jagiellonia, failed to secure the expected win. The model’s predictions on total goals and outcomes were mixed, with only the goal-line picks succeeding.
