The expected total goals is 2.7, and the most likely total number of goals is two, a 26 % probability. The single most probable scoreline is 1-1, with a 13.2 % chance. Tarxien’s home form shows they average 0.5 goals scored and 1.0 conceded against stronger opposition, while Sliema’s away form against weaker sides sees them net 1.38 and concede 1.12. The model’s selections include Over 1.5 goals at 75.6 % and Under 3.5 goals at 72.3 %. These picks are independent of the match result and carry their own probabilities. In short, the prediction points to a tight contest ending 1-1, but the odds tilt in favour of the visitors, who have the better offensive and defensive figures on this side of the pitch.

The pre-match favourite, the model’s pick for an away win, fell short as Tarxien Rainbows claimed a 2-1 victory, a result that surprised the pundits. The model had given the away side a 47 % chance of triumph, yet the home side’s recent form - LWWDD and a 0-2 loss to Zabbar St. Patrick - hinted at a potential comeback. The match delivered two goals, matching the most likely total of two, and the scoreline of 1-2 for the visitors was one of the top three predicted outcomes. The model’s selections for Over 1.5 and Under 3.5 both hit, with probabilities of 75.6 % and 72.3 % respectively. The overall prediction was therefore incorrect, but the over/under picks proved accurate.
