Manchester United 3–2 AS Roma: our model backed Manchester United (correct)
765812410eeaPrediction outcome
Result pick correct
We predicted Manchester United win (44%). Final score 3–2.
Exact score not matched
Most likely score 1-1, actual 3-2. The most likely Manchester United win is 1-0 (10%). 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: yes
We gave over 2.5 a 52% chance; the match had 5 goals.
Both teams scored: yes
We gave both teams to score a 56% chance.

Original forecast
Locked before kickoff ·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.
