Van’s 1-0 win over Shirak was a tighter affair than the Pythia model had forecast, with the final total of one goal falling well below the expected 3.0. The model’s favourite, a home win, proved correct, matching the actual result. The pre-match favourite was given a 41% probability, and the model’s selection for Over 1.5 goals, at 81.9%, missed as the match produced only one goal.

The model’s prediction of a home win held true, but the total goal count was far lower than anticipated.
