📱 Download Now On Google Play 🔮 View PredictionsThis card featured a compact but diverse set of matches across Albania, the AFC Champions League, Kuwait, England, and Portugal. The predictions covered 1X2 outcomes, goals totals (over/under 1.5, 2.5, 3.5) and both teams to score, with mixed success: strong reads on Albanian 1X2 and the Arsenal–Crystal Palace goal range, but a clear miss on Sporting CP’s goal explosion and the both‑teams‑to‑score angle in Portugal.
Prediction: X2 (Dinamo City or Draw) at odds 1.36 – Correct
Dinamo City’s 3–1 away win not only validated the double‑chance X2 prediction but did so comfortably, indicating a solid edge in attacking quality. A three‑goal haul away from home suggests Partizani’s defensive structure was vulnerable, likely a key factor behind expecting Dinamo City to avoid defeat. The relatively short odds reflected market confidence that the visitors had at least parity, and the final scoreline confirmed that assessment, with Partizani unable to contain Dinamo’s offensive transitions.
Prediction: X2 (Egnatia or Draw) at odds 1.35 – Correct
Egnatia’s 1–0 away victory again underlined the value of siding with the visitors not to lose. The low‑scoring nature of the match points to a cautious approach from both sides, but Egnatia’s ability to find the decisive goal matched the expectation that they had the stronger balance between attack and defence. The prediction leaned on Egnatia’s relative form and resilience; Teuta’s inability to score at home reinforced the idea that their attacking threat was limited against disciplined opposition.
Prediction: 1 (Al‑Ittihad to win) at odds 1.28 – Pending / Marked as Won in feed
The data flags this prediction as “won” despite the result still listed as “---”, so it should be treated as pending from a performance‑analysis standpoint. The very short odds for the home win highlight Al‑Ittihad as strong favourites, typically due to superior squad quality, home advantage, and deeper continental experience. The expectation here is that Nasaf Qarshi will struggle to sustain pressure away from home over 90 minutes, making an Al‑Ittihad victory the most likely outcome on paper.
Prediction: 1X (Al Kuwait or Draw) at odds 1.32 – Pending
With near‑balanced three‑way odds and only a slight lean toward Al Kuwait, the double‑chance 1X reflects anticipation of a tight derby‑style encounter where the home side’s familiarity with conditions and marginal quality edge should at least secure a draw. The prediction avoids committing to a home win in a match priced as very competitive, instead banking on Al Kuwait’s ability to avoid defeat in front of their own supporters.
Prediction: Under 2.5 goals at odds 1.88 – Correct
The 1–1 scoreline landed comfortably under 2.5 goals, in line with expectations of a controlled, tactical cup tie rather than a wide‑open shootout. Arsenal often rotate in domestic cups and can adopt a more measured tempo, while Crystal Palace traditionally prioritise defensive organisation, especially away to stronger opposition. The result shows both teams managed to find the net but without sustained end‑to‑end pressure, supporting the idea of limited goal volume despite Arsenal’s usual attacking reputation.
Prediction: Under 3.5 goals at odds 1.33 – Incorrect
This prediction failed decisively as the match finished 1–4 (total of 5 goals), driven largely by Sporting CP’s potent attack. The under 3.5 angle likely relied on Guimarães’ tendency to be more compact at home and the expectation that they would limit Sporting’s scoring while not producing a high volume of chances themselves. Instead, Sporting’s attacking efficiency, combined with Guimarães at least getting on the scoresheet, pushed the total well past the line. This points to an underestimation of Sporting’s current offensive form and their capacity to exploit defensive lapses away from home.
Prediction: Over 1.5 goals at odds 1.29 – Correct
With the match ending 1–1, the over 1.5 goals prediction was also accurate and aligned well with the under 2.5 call. The expectation was for some scoring, given Arsenal’s home advantage and technical quality, but not a goal fest due to Palace’s compact structure and the knockout setting. Two goals fit this mid‑range scoring profile perfectly, showing that anticipating a moderate output (2 goals) rather than extremes (0–1 or 4+) was the right read on team styles and competition context.
Prediction: OTS (“No”, i.e., both teams not to score) at odds 1.67 – Incorrect
The OTS prediction expected at least one side to fail to score, most plausibly Guimarães being shut out by a strong Sporting defence. Instead, the match delivered a 1–4 scoreline, with both teams contributing and Sporting adding a big margin. The error here comes from misjudging Guimarães’ ability to create and finish chances at home, even against a superior opponent, and simultaneously underestimating how open the game could become once Sporting took control. When dominant favourites attack aggressively, they can drag the match into a more expansive, chance‑rich pattern that boosts both‑teams‑to‑score outcomes.
Strongest area – 1X2 in Albania:
Both Albanian matches (Partizani vs Dinamo City and Teuta Durres vs Egnatia) were read correctly via double‑chance predictions in favour of the away sides. This suggests a good grasp of form and relative strength within that league, especially in spotting away teams capable of avoiding defeat.
Solid read on mid‑range goal totals (Arsenal vs Crystal Palace):
The combination of over 1.5 and under 2.5 on the same match was perfectly aligned with the eventual 1–1 result, indicating accurate anticipation of a controlled game with limited but not negligible scoring.
Weakest area – Portuguese match dynamics:
Both predictions tied to V. GuimarĂŁes vs Sporting CP (under 3.5 goals and OTS) missed. The core miscalculation was underestimating:
This led to a double miss on both the total‑goals market and the both‑teams‑to‑score outcome, highlighting that Sporting‑involved fixtures may require adjusting expectations toward higher‑scoring, more open games.
