Hibernians face Birkirkara with the model favouring an away win. The odds lean 23% for a home victory, 27% for a draw, and 50% for Birkirkara to come out on top. The expected total goals hover at 2.6, with the most likely total being two goals, a 26% chance. The single most probable scoreline is 1-1, carrying a 13% probability. Hibernians, playing at home against a similar-strength opponent, average 0.5 goals scored and concede 1.0, while Birkirkara on the road against comparable opposition net 2.0 and allow only 0.5. The model’s selections include Over 1.5 with a 75.3% chance and Under 3.5 at 72.6%. The home win percentage is 23%, the draw 27%, and the away win 50%. All picks are presented with their exact probabilities, and no other outcomes are assigned win chances.
Results analysis
The draw shocked everyone, as the pre-match favourite, Birkirkara, failed to deliver. Hibernians, coming off a draw, held the home side to a 1-1 stalemate, while Birkirkara, fresh from a defeat, could not secure the win the model had predicted with a 50% probability. The model’s call was wrong. The suggested picks proved accurate: Over 1.5 goals hit at 75.3% and Under 3.5 goals hit at 72.6%. The final score of 1-1 matched the most likely 1-1 outcome, which had a 13% chance, and the match finished in a draw, the actual result.

How many goals each side scores in the first half on its own. Each line is modelled directly from that team's half-time goals rather than read off a scoreline grid, so unlike the full-time version the two sides need not sum exactly to the half-time match total.
