Two close calls but the model keeps its cool in Premiership action
Fipster's crystal ball was a tad underconfident today, yet it managed to call the winners right in both Dundee vs Aberdeen and St Mirren vs St Johnstone. No perfect scores, but no misses either — a tidy performance overall.
Today’s Premiership fixtures gave Fipster a chance to show off its cautious side. Both matches ended with the model correctly predicting the outcome, though it didn’t quite nail the exact scores or other finer details. Dundee’s 2-0 win over Aberdeen was forecast as a 2-1 victory — close enough to earn a tick but not quite a star. The model also called the winner right for St Mirren’s 1-0 success against St Johnstone, even getting the halftime prediction spot on there.
BTTS and over/under predictions were off in both games, reminding us that football isn’t just about who wins but how many goals get sprinkled in. Confidence ratings leaned towards underconfident for both fixtures, so perhaps the model was hedging its bets — which paid off since it avoided any misses today.
With two TICKs and no stars or misses, it’s a neat little haul for Fipster on this day of Premiership action. Not perfect, but perfectly acceptable — we’ll take that one with a wink and look forward to upping the ante next time.
Model record: 0 STAR · 2 TICK · 0 MISS. Day grade: A+.
