The draw shocked the pundits, as the pre-match favourite, Home win, was wrong. Sheriff Tiraspol’s 1-1 finish left the model’s call incorrect, and the match ended in a stalemate. The model had predicted a 48% chance of a home win, 35% draw, and 17% away win, but the result was a draw.

Sheriff’s recent form, a win, loss, draw, loss, win, had them coming off a defeat, and CSF Bălți’s streak of three straight losses ended with a 0-3 loss before the match. The final score of 1-1 matched the most likely 1-0 and 1-1 probabilities, but the model’s favourite did not come through.
