Prediction outcome

Result pick missed

We predicted Burnley win (39%). Final score 1–1.

Exact score matched

Most likely score 1-1, actual 1-1. The most likely Burnley win is 0-1 (9%). 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 48% chance; the match had 2 goals.

Both teams scored: yes
