The upset came early as Helsingborg edged IFK Värnamo 1-0, ending the home side’s unbeaten run of five games. The pre-match favourite was the home win, with the model assigning a 43% chance, but the prediction proved wrong. The model’s other selection, Over 1.5 goals, had an 83.7% probability yet missed, as the match saw only one goal. The most likely scoreline, 1-1, was not achieved; the actual 0-1 result left the model’s picks both incorrect. Helsingborg’s solitary goal secured the away win, contradicting the model’s forecast.
