Prediction review
Sunday, 18 October 2026
On 2026-10-18 we had published a prediction for 52 fixtures before kick-off. We called 31 of them correctly, 60%.
Our strongest call
The call we backed hardest was Real Madrid to beat Sevilla in La Liga, at 75.3%, and it held. It finished 4–1.
Where we were most wrong
Remo against Red Bull Bragantino finished 1–1. We had published Remo to beat Red Bull Bragantino at 70.8%, 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
14 of the day's calls were at 60% or above. 10 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
7 fixtures were split closely enough that no outcome reached 40%. 1 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 14 competitions: Ligue 1 (5), Segunda Division (5), Eredivisie (5).
