How the model called it

Before kickoff, Goalorithm’s model gave Sheffield Utd a 53.2% chance of winning, a draw 25.7%, and Derby a 21.1% chance of victory. These are estimates of the possible outcomes, rather than a description of how the match would necessarily finish.

The model’s most likely outcome was Sheffield Utd to win. It gave the draw 25.7%, and the result went against the model's most likely outcome. The match therefore finished with an outcome that was not the model’s leading result, despite the forecast assigning the draw a defined probability before kickoff.

The final score 1-1 was the model's 1st-likeliest score. That exact-score forecast and the preferred outcome are distinct parts of the model’s call: the predicted scoreline was its leading one, while its most likely result was a Sheffield Utd win. The actual match ended level, with Sheffield Utd recovering from the half-time deficit but neither side scoring a winner.
