Zabbar St. Patrick are the favourites, with the model predicting a home win at 44%. The match is expected to be a high-scoring affair, averaging 3.0 goals, but the most likely total is 2 goals, a 24% chance. The single most probable scoreline is 1-1, with a 12.4% probability, reflecting the balanced nature of the teams. Zabbar’s home form shows they average 1.5 goals scored and concede 2.0 against similar opposition, while Mosta, on the road, averages 1.1 goals scored and 1.9 conceded. The model’s only selection is Over 1.5 goals, with an 80.5% probability. Home win, draw and away win probabilities stand at 44%, 26% and 29% respectively. The recent form narrative is that Zabbar are coming off a draw, whereas Mosta are on a four-game winning run.
Results analysis
The upset came as Zabbar St. Patrick, the pre-match favourite, fell short of a home win, losing 1-2 to Mosta. The model had picked a home win with a 44% probability, but that call proved wrong. The match finished with an away victory, a result that matched the model’s single suggested pick, Over 1.5, which hit with an 80.5% probability. Mosta’s 4-game winning streak was reinforced by their 1-0 win over Birkirkara, while Zabbar’s form had dipped to a draw after a 1-1 draw with Hibernians. The final score of 1-2 confirmed the model’s prediction of a total of over 1.5 goals.
