Sunday’s Premier League slate featured just one match, but it was a compelling one. Arsenal made the trip to Anfield and left with all three points, edging Liverpool 1-0 in a tight contest. Liverpool struggled to find the back of the net on home soil, and the Gunners’ defense held firm to secure a result that will boost their confidence heading into the weeks ahead.
The XO Sports model came away with a correct call on this one, picking Arsenal as the away side to win. The model projected a 2-1 scoreline in favor of Arsenal, which leaned slightly higher in goals than the actual 1-0 final, but the winner was right on the money. With a probability sitting just under 49 percent, this was by no means a lock, making the correct prediction a solid outcome for the model on a light Sunday card. Not a top pick designation, but a win is a win.
