Yesterday’s Predictions: Monday, 2 Nov 2026

Yesterday’s prediction review covers 85 fixtures and provides a strong overall return from the 1X2 market, where 61 correct selections produced an accuracy rate of 72%. That performance indicates a reliable approach to match-winner forecasts across a large slate, even when identifying the winning side does not guarantee success in the related betting markets.

The Over/Under predictions delivered 53 correct results, representing a 62% strike rate, while the BTTS market produced 42 right calls for an accuracy of 49%. These figures show that the day offered differing levels of predictive confidence: match winners were the strongest area, Over/Under selections remained above 60%, and BTTS outcomes were the most difficult to forecast. With 85 matches reviewed, Monday, 2 Nov 2026 provided a substantial test of the predictions and a notable spread of results across all three markets.

Prediction Accuracy: Strong Results, Weaker Goal Markets

Across 85 matches, with each prediction judged against the highest-confidence “Our Pick,” the 1X2 market delivered the strongest record at 61 correct selections, or 72%. This suggests that identifying the likely match winner proved substantially more reliable than forecasting goal-based outcomes. The result also shows that selecting a single outcome from three possible 1X2 options was a more dependable approach than attempting to combine related markets.

The Over/Under record was positive but less convincing, with 53 correct predictions from 85 matches, equal to 62%. Although this performance remained above the 50% mark, the 10-percentage-point gap behind 1X2 indicates that total-goal forecasts were harder to sustain. Goal forecasts require the predicted match to fall on the correct side of the chosen line, leaving less room for error than a straightforward result prediction.

BTTS was the weakest market, registering 42 correct picks from 85 matches, or 49%. That is effectively a coin-flip return and falls below the success rates achieved for both 1X2 and Over/Under. Overall, the honest conclusion is that the highest-confidence picks were most useful for match winners, moderately useful for goal totals, and unreliable for both teams to score. Future selections within this archive would benefit from placing greater trust in 1X2 forecasts while applying more caution to BTTS predictions.

Five Best Prediction Calls

Our strongest picks covered several distinct levels of confidence, with each selection landing successfully. Benfica’s 1-0 win over Alverca was the most emphatic call, having been backed at 85%. The clean scoreline made the home-win prediction convincing, while the high percentage showed that the recommendation was based on a particularly clear assessment of the matchup. Hapoel Ramat Gan’s 0-5 defeat to Maccabi Tel Aviv was another major success: the away-win prediction at 75% was justified by a five-goal margin that established a clear gap between the teams.

The other three correct selections were delivered with different analytical profiles. Sassuolo’s 2-4 loss to Fiorentina produced a correct away-win call at 42%, demonstrating useful judgment on a contest that did not require an overwhelming probability. Hapoel Tel Aviv’s 2-1 victory over Maccabi Haifa was also correctly identified as a home win at 46%, with a one-goal margin and three total goals giving the prediction a close but clear result. Finally, the Témouchent 1-1 draw with US Biskra completed the list of successful calls, with the home-win selection recorded at 50%. Across all five entries, the results ranged from a confident 85% call to selections at 46% and 42%, illustrating an effective mix of conviction and calculated risk.

Biggest Prediction Misses

Our three biggest misses shared a clear weakness: treating a stated prediction as more secure than the evidence warranted. Ulinzi Stars were selected to beat Mathare United in a predicted home win at 38%, but Mathare United won 2-1. Tusker were also backed to win at 39%, yet Mara Sugar secured a 3-1 victory. In both cases, the forecast leaned toward the home side, but the final score reversed that assumption. The percentages were not overwhelming, so these were not near-certainties; they were selections whose supporting logic was overvalued.

The clearest miss in terms of confidence was Jong PSV U21’s 0-2 defeat to NAC Breda. We predicted an away win at 61%, the highest probability attached to any of these three selections, but Jong PSV U21 won the match. This exposed the danger of converting a strong forecast into a confident outcome without accounting for how football can overturn even a sizeable statistical edge.

Together, the misses show that our model was not merely occasionally wrong; it failed to protect against the reversal of its preferred team in all three games. Ulinzi Stars and Tusker both fell short of the predicted home-win scenario, while Jong PSV U21 denied the favoured away side. A more disciplined review must examine whether home advantage and team strength were given too much weight, whether the underlying assumptions were properly tested, and how much uncertainty each probability should have carried before being turned into a definitive prediction.

Results Roundup: Five Leagues, Seven Correct Picks

Premier League: Newcastle’s 0-1 defeat to Everton produced the only incorrect 1X2 selection of the Premier League roundup. The one-goal margin supplied the result’s only separating goal, but the original three-way prediction did not align with the final score.

La Liga and Serie A: Deportivo La Coruna’s 2-1 win over Osasuna was correctly selected, while Sassuolo’s 2-4 loss to Fiorentina also matched the 1X2 prediction. Atalanta’s 0-3 defeat to Parma broke that run, as the original selection missed the correct outcome in a convincing away victory.

Ligue 1, Primeira Liga and Super Lig: Lorient’s 0-2 loss to Stade Brestois 29 and Témouchent’s 1-1 draw with US Biskra were both incorrect, before CR Belouizdad’s 1-0 win over JS Saoura was called accurately. In the Primeira Liga, GIL Vicente’s 0-0 draw with Vitória SC was missed, while Benfica’s 1-0 victory over Alverca was selected correctly. Gençlerbirliği S.K.’s 5-0 win over Alanyaspor completed the round with another successful 1X2 prediction and the largest winning margin among the listed matches.

Conclusion: A Strong Day for Predictions

Yesterday’s Results delivered a strong 1X2 accuracy of 72% across 85 matches on Monday, 2 Nov 2026. This performance reflects the value of combining statistical analysis with careful assessment of each fixture.

The result provides a useful benchmark for future prediction reviews, while continued review of strong and weaker calls will help refine the approach.
