Prediction review

fixtures predicted before kick-off

On 2026-10-20 we had published a prediction for 32 fixtures before kick-off. We called 13 of them correctly, 41%.

Our strongest call

The call we backed hardest was AS Roma to beat Slovan Bratislava in UEFA Champions League, at 82.5%, and it held. It finished 4–0.

Where we were most wrong

Fenerbahce against Slavia Prague finished 2–2. We had published Fenerbahce to beat Slavia Prague at 74.1%, 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

6 fixtures were split closely enough that no outcome reached 40%. 3 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 4 competitions: League Two (12), League One (11), UEFA Champions League (8).
