How these predictions are made
Every call is generated from real completed results: each club's recent points scored and conceded, matched attack against defence with a small home-ground adjustment. The same model powers the weekly predictions hub and every match preview, so the numbers always agree. It is a data lean, not a certainty — team news can move any game.
