Alaves and Malaga share spoils while Fipster takes a rain check
The lone La Liga fixture on October 23rd saw Alaves and Malaga settle for a 1-1 draw, a result that left our trusty Fipster model looking decidedly overconfident and off the mark across all prediction categories.
Today’s single La Liga fixture between Alaves and Malaga ended in a 1-1 draw, a scoreline that proved quite the puzzle for our Fipster model. It confidently predicted a 3-0 home win for Alaves, but alas, none of the prediction dimensions landed correctly.
From outcome to exact score, both teams to score (BTTS), over/under goals, and even halftime correctness — every box was ticked... wrong. The model was overconfident in its call, which makes this one of those days where humility is the best policy.
No STAR or TICK grades today, just a solitary MISS reminding us that even the best algorithms can have an off day. We'll take this as a gentle nudge to keep our expectations grounded — after all, football loves to keep us guessing.
Model record: 0 STAR · 0 TICK · 1 MISS. Day grade: D-.
