Moneyball's prediction against the result

The prediction was right. Moneyball's pick on the Match Board was Inter Milan Win, and on 0-2 it was right.

The estimate's most likely result was an Inter win at 70%, and that is what happened. Its single most likely score was 1-2 (9%).

The goals dried up: the estimate expected about 3.8 and the match produced two.

Over 2.5 goals had been put at 72%; with 2 goals the under came in, against the way the estimate leaned.

Both teams to score was 63%; they did not both score, against the estimate.

Computed before kick-off from both sides' season goals and expected goals as of 2026-10-28, through a Dixon-Coles score model, and left as it was.
