Two tidy wins but no perfect score for Fipster in Champions League play-offs
Fipster called the winners right in both Sabah FA vs Hapoel Beer Sheva and Bodo/Glimt vs NEC Nijmegen, though exact scores and BTTS predictions proved a bit ambitious. The model’s confidence was just right, earning two solid ticks and an A+ day grade.
The Champions League play-offs served up two matches where Fipster got the outcomes spot on but fell short of nailing the exact scores or both teams scoring predictions. Sabah FA edged out Hapoel Beer Sheva 3-2, with the model correctly backing Sabah to win but expecting a cleaner sheet than reality provided.
Similarly, Bodo/Glimt’s 3-0 victory over NEC Nijmegen was forecasted as a home win with goals, but the model overshot on NEC’s tally. Both matches saw the over-under prediction land true, suggesting Fipster had a decent handle on goal volume even if it missed some finer details.
Halftime calls didn’t quite come off in either fixture, which might explain why exact scorelines slipped through the cracks. Still, two TICK grades out of two is nothing to sniff at — the model had its day without going full starry-eyed.
With a model record now standing at 0 STAR · 2 TICK · 0 MISS for this round of fixtures, it’s clear that while perfection remains elusive, consistency is firmly on display. We’ll take that one and look forward to sharpening those halftime and BTTS calls next time around.
Day grade: A+
