Moneyball's prediction against the result

The prediction was right. Moneyball's pick on the Match Board was Under 2.75, and on 2-0 it was right.

The estimate's most likely result was an Arsenal win at 66%, and that is what happened. Its single most likely score was 2-0 (13%), exactly the final score.

On goals the estimate was close: about 2.7 expected, 2 scored.

Over 2.5 goals had been put at 52%; with 2 goals the under came in, against the way the estimate leaned.

Computed before kick-off from both sides' season goals and expected goals as of 2026-10-24, through a Dixon-Coles score model, and left as it was.

Why it went this way

On the day the expected goals were 0.56 for Arsenal and 2.39 for Everton.

Arsenal scored about 1.4 more than their chances were worth: clinical finishing, or a goalkeeper having a bad day.

Everton left about 2.4 goals' worth of chances on the pitch.

Everton created the better chances, 2.39 xG to 0.56, and still lost. On chances alone, the result could easily have gone the other way.

The run of play itself went against the pre-match reading: Moneyball expected Arsenal to create more, and Everton did.

Arsenal had 4 shots on target, Everton 3.

Arsenal had 58% of the ball and turned it into the win.
