The upset came early as Petrocub’s home form, now marked by two straight defeats, failed to hold off Sheriff Tiraspol, who entered the match fresh from a 4-0 victory. The final score was 2-3, an away win that contradicted the model’s pre-match favourite, a home win at 51 %. The model’s call was therefore wrong. The only other selection was Under 3.5 goals, with an 81.8 % probability, but this pick missed as the match produced three goals. The prediction model’s odds and the match outcome illustrate how even a high-probability home advantage can falter against a resilient visitor.
