Moneyball's prediction against the result

A Galatasaray win was the estimate's call at 48%, and it came in. The exact score was another matter: 0-2 was the likeliest, 0-4 the real one.

The match had far more goals than expected: the estimate was about 2.5 goals and there were 4.

Over 2.5 goals had been put at 45%; with 4 goals the over came in, against the way the estimate leaned.

Both teams to score was 49%; they did not both score, in line with the estimate.

Computed before kick-off from both sides' season goals and expected goals as of 2026-10-30, through a Dixon-Coles score model, and left as it was.
