The pre-match favourite, Rīga FS, fell short of the model’s expectation, as the match finished 1-1, a draw that left the predicted away win unfulfilled. The model had given the away side a 45% chance of triumph, but the result proved otherwise. The only suggested pick, Over 1.5 goals, hit with a 73.2% probability, delivering the expected 2+ goals. Vestri, who had just suffered a 0-2 defeat, could not capitalize on the home advantage, while Rīga FS, fresh from a 3-0 win, could not convert its offensive edge into a victory. The final score of 1-1 confirms the model’s pick was wrong.
