The upset came as Morton edged Ayr Utd 2-1, overturning the model’s pre-match favourite of an away win that carried a 39% probability. The final score gave the home side a win, a result that the model had not predicted. The model’s single selection, Under 3.5 goals, was correct, hitting the 79.9% probability it had assigned. Morton’s recent form, a draw after a string of losses, and Ayr’s similar draw-heavy run set the stage for a tightly contested match. The most likely scoreline, 1-1, was not realised, and the 2-1 outcome left the model’s pick wrong, underscoring the unpredictability of the Championship.
