The result against the call

Hull City and Ipswich drew 2–2. The model had leaned towards a win for Hull City at 44% and given a draw 26%. At that figure it expects the outcome about once in every 4 matches like this one. The goals: Florentino Luís 22' for Ipswich, Tim Iroegbunam 58' for Hull City, Oliver McBurnie 68' for Hull City, Julio Enciso 74' for Ipswich. On expected goals it finished 0.76–1.08.

What this result changed

Before kick-off the season simulation gave Hull City a 9.1% chance to finish in the bottom three: 6.7% after a win, 9.0% after a draw, 11.8% after a defeat. The draw was the middle one of the three, and left the figure about where it was, at 9.0%.

For Ipswich the question was the chance to finish in the bottom three, 20.2% going in: 14.7% after a win, 19.6% after a draw, 22.7% after a defeat. The draw was the middle one of the three, and left the figure at 19.6%, 0.6 points lower than before the match.

Read from our Premier League season simulation as it stood before this match (10,000 runs), counting this result alone. Every result since then has moved the table again, so today's figure is on the competition page.
