Fipster’s Premiership Picks: Four Ticks and One Miss Keep Things Interesting
A solid day for the model with four correct outcome calls and just one blip in Dundee vs St Johnstone. Goals were mostly spot-on for winners, though exact scores proved elusive across the board.
Today’s Premiership action gave Fipster plenty to chew on, with a respectable haul of four TICK grades out of five fixtures. The model correctly predicted the winners in Celtic’s comfortable 3-0 triumph over Aberdeen, Rangers edging Falkirk 2-1, St Mirren sneaking past Kilmarnock 1-0, and Motherwell’s 3-0 victory against Dundee United. Not bad at all.
The one miss came in Dundee’s 1-1 draw with St Johnstone, where Fipster confidently tipped a home win that didn’t materialise. Confidence rating? Overconfident — we’ll take the blame on that one. At least it kept us humble.
Looking at finer details, outcome predictions were generally on point except for that stubborn draw. Exact scorelines remain a tough nut to crack — none matched perfectly today. BTTS calls were mixed; Celtic’s clean sheet was well flagged but others less so. Over/under predictions leaned towards underwhelming accuracy, except for Motherwell’s game where the model nailed it.
Halftime correctness was patchy too, with only Kilmarnock vs St Mirren getting the nod there. Confidence ratings mostly aligned well with outcomes, save for our lone overreach in Dundee’s fixture.
All told, a day of solid calls peppered with reminders that football loves to keep us guessing. Four ticks and one miss make for a tidy tally — nothing flashy but enough to keep us smiling (and slightly wary). Day grade: A+.
