The weekend is over and results are in. Time to revisit the calls that the Soccer Factor Model for Match Outcomes (SFMMO) had made for all the matches across Europe’s Top 5 leagues over weekend!
As the receipts are in, so are also the predictions for the upcoming matches for the coming weekend already now!
📝 Recap – Matches
Manchester Unitedvs.
Manchester City
More shots on goal (16 vs. 6), more crosses (22 vs. 10), more ball possession (55% vs 45%), about an equal number of expected goals (1.00 vs. 1.10) for United — but in the end, it was City who took the three points at Old Trafford!

United: Bruno Fernandes (33% - 0), Bryan Mbeumo (31% - 0); City: Erling Haaland (50% - 1).
Laziovs.
AC Milan
In the first half it seemed that Milan was just hoping to net get run over by the Laziali. But in the second half the Rossonieri came back, equalizing Lazio’s two-goal lead within only two minutes!

📈 SFMMO – The Receipts
So far this season, the SFMMO has been scored on 192 matches out of which it called 96 results correctly, giving it an overall accuracy of 50.0% – trailing the market odds by 2.1 percentage points. Last weekend, it was the Premier League that the SFMMO struggled with mostly, calling only 3 out of 10 matches correctly, yet scored 6 out of 10 in the Serie A.
