Wrexham vs Birmingham: When the model got its wires crossed
Only one Championship fixture on the docket today and the Fipster model took a bit of a tumble, misreading the outcome but still nailing some other calls. Let’s unpack where it hit and where it missed.
Today's solitary Championship fixture between Wrexham and Birmingham ended 1-2, but our trusty Fipster model had other ideas. It predicted a 2-1 win for Wrexham, so the outcome was off the mark — a classic case of getting the winner wrong. Not to worry though, it did correctly foresee both teams scoring and that the total goals would be over the line, so it wasn’t completely lost in translation.
Halftime prediction? Also a swing and a miss. But hey, with an “appropriate” confidence rating, it gave it a decent shot without overpromising. The exact scoreline was another no-go, which is hardly surprising given how tricky those can be to pin down.
So all told, one fixture, one miss on outcome and halftime, but two correct calls on goals-related bets. Not quite a day for bragging rights but at least we’ll take those partial hits as silver linings.
Model record stands at 0 STAR · 0 TICK · 1 MISS after this round of Championship action.
