Moneyball's prediction against the result

A correct call: the Match Board's pick was Under 3.75, and 3-0 bears it out.

The estimate's most likely result was a Beşiktaş win at 75%, and that is what happened. Its single most likely score was 2-0 (10%).

On goals the estimate was close: about 3.6 expected, 3 scored.

Over 2.5 goals had been put at 69%; with 3 goals the over came in, as the estimate leaned.

Both teams to score was 56%; they did not both score, against the estimate.

Computed before kick-off from both sides' season goals and expected goals as of 2026-11-08, through a Dixon-Coles score model, and left as it was.

Why it went this way

On the day the expected goals were 0.22 for Beşiktaş and 3.22 for Gençlerbirliği.

Beşiktaş scored about 2.8 more than their chances were worth: clinical finishing, or a goalkeeper having a bad day.

Gençlerbirliği left about 3.2 goals' worth of chances on the pitch.

Gençlerbirliği created the better chances, 3.22 xG to 0.22, 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 Beşiktaş to create more, and Gençlerbirliği did.

Beşiktaş had 10 shots on target, Gençlerbirliği 1.

Gençlerbirliği's goalkeeper made 6 saves.

Beşiktaş had 69% of the ball and turned it into the win.

A red card changed the shape of the match, and no pre-match model can see one coming.
