Prediction outcome

Result pick correct

We predicted Galatasaray win (41%). Final score 2–0.

Exact score not matched

Most likely score 1-1, actual 2-0. The most likely Galatasaray win is 2-1 (8%). A win is spread over many scores (1-0, 2-1, 2-0…), a draw over a few, so the single top score can be a draw even when a win is the pick. Exact scores land about one time in eight, so this is shown for reference.

Over 2.5 goals: no

We gave over 2.5 a 67% chance; the match had 2 goals.

Both teams scored: no

We gave both teams to score a 68% chance.

90-minute result, extra time not included. Rounded so the three add up to 100%.

Calibration warning. The Champions League failed our calibration check before it was added. In back-tests on the 2022–23 to 2025–26 seasons (628 matches), when the result we rated most likely had 55–65%, it came in 70% of the time, against 60% forecast. In these matches the model is too cautious, so its pick is probably more likely than shown. We publish it unchanged (model v1.3-2026-11) and are tracking live results before recalibrating.
