In a surprising turn, Galway United’s unbeaten run of five games was halted as the match finished 1-1, a draw that left the pre-match favourite - the model’s Home win call - wrong. The model had given the home side a 43% chance of triumph, but the result was a stalemate. The Pythia’s other selections all came through: Over 2.5 cards hit at 86.7%, Under 3.5 goals at 80.2%, Under 25.5 fouls at 77.5%, and Over 8.5 corners at 70.3%. Only the Over 3.5 cards pick missed, falling short of the 72.1% probability. Galway’s 1-1 draw against Drogheda United, who had endured two straight defeats before this game, kept the match within the model’s expected total of two goals.
