Prediction review

Saturday, 26 September 2026

13/36
calls correct
36
fixtures predicted before kick-off

On 2026-09-26 we had published a prediction for 36 fixtures before kick-off. We called 13 of them correctly, 36%.

Our strongest call

The call we backed hardest was Finland to beat San Marino in Int: UEFA Nations League, at 85.9%, and it held. It finished 0–7.

Where we were most wrong

Bulgaria against Luxembourg finished 1–2. We had published Bulgaria to beat Luxembourg at 70.5%, the largest confidence we placed on an outcome that did not happen. It stays on the record: a site that reports only its hits is not reporting a record, it is reporting a selection.

When we were confident

8 of the day's calls were at 60% or above. 4 of them landed. Over a single day that number means very little — it is the same figure across a month that says whether our stated confidence is honest.

The ones we called close

9 fixtures were split closely enough that no outcome reached 40%. 6 of them ended level. We publish these without pretending to a view: a fixture the model divides three ways is one it has little to tell you about, and saying so is more useful than manufacturing a lean.

Coverage

The day's predictions spanned 7 competitions: League Two (10), Int: UEFA Nations League (8), MLS (5).
