The model’s selections include an 77% chance of Over 1.5 goals and a 70.5% chance of Under 3.5 goals. The home win percentage is 55%, the draw percentage 26%, and the away win percentage 19%. The suggested picks are Over 1.5 (77%) and Under 3.5 (70.5%).

The upset came early, as the pre-match favourite, the model’s Home win call at 55%, failed to materialise. Saburtalo, after a string of four defeats, could not break the 1-1 stalemate, while Gagra, fresh from a win, held them to a draw. The model’s selection was therefore wrong. The Over 1.5 pick, with a 77% probability, hit, as did the Under 3.5 at 70.5%. The match finished 1-1, a draw that matched the model’s predicted total of 2.7 goals but fell short of the 55% home win expectation. Saburtalo’s poor run and Gagra’s recent victory set the stage for the unexpected result.
