Moneyball's prediction against the result
The prediction missed. Moneyball's pick on the Match Board was Over 2.75, and on 0-1 it was wrong.
The estimate's most likely result was an Everton win at 38%, and that is what happened. Its single most likely score was 1-1 (12%).
The goals dried up: the estimate expected about 3.0 and the match produced one.
Over 2.5 goals had been put at 56%; with 1 goal the under came in, against the way the estimate leaned.
Both teams to score was 60%; they did not both score, against the estimate.
The pre-match consensus had a Newcastle United win at 39%, a different lean from Moneyball's.
Computed before kick-off from both sides' season goals and expected goals as of 2026-11-02, through a Dixon-Coles score model, and left as it was.
Why it went this way
On the day the expected goals were 2.38 for Newcastle United and 1.65 for Everton.
Newcastle United scored about 2.4 fewer than their chances were worth: poor finishing, or a goalkeeper at his best.

Newcastle United had 52% of the ball, but Everton took the points.
