Falkirk’s surprise win spoils Fipster’s day, but Aberdeen keeps the model ticking
Two Premiership fixtures, two very different outcomes for the Fipster prediction model. A miss on Falkirk vs St Mirren contrasts with a solid tick on Aberdeen’s narrow victory over Hearts, showing the model’s occasional charm and its limits.

Today’s Premiership action gave us a mixed bag for the Fipster model. The standout moment was Falkirk pulling off a 2-0 win against St Mirren, a result that caught the model completely off guard. None of the prediction dimensions landed here — outcome, exact score, BTTS, over/under, or halftime accuracy all missed the mark. The confidence rating was appropriate, so no complaints about overconfidence; just a classic case of football doing its own thing.
