Leeds v Birmingham City
How the SharpXI model rated this Championship fixture — every call it made on shots, cards and fouls, set against what actually happened on the day.
Before Leeds beat Birmingham City 3–0, the SharpXI model made 14 confident calls on the player markets and 10 landed — the strongest being Georginio Rutter for 1+ fouls drawn (86%, had 7). Its clearest miss: Crysencio Summerville for 1+ fouls drawn (79%, had 0). Every probability here was published before kick-off, priced the same way as every other fixture — one game is noise, not a verdict.

Frequently asked
How did the SharpXI model do on Leeds v Birmingham City?
10 of its 14 most-confident calls landed. The board on this page lists every one with the model's pre-kickoff probability next to what actually happened, hits and misses in the same table.
What did the model get wrong on Leeds v Birmingham City?
The most confident call it got wrong was Crysencio Summerville at 79% for fouls drawn — shown in the same table as the hits, marked with a cross. A record that hides its misses isn't a record, so we don't.
Are these probabilities hindsight?
No. Each one is the number the model produced from data available before kick-off, using the same settings as every other fixture on the site — nothing was refitted after the result. That is the only way a per-match report means anything.
Does one match tell you if the model is any good in the Championship?
No, and we'd rather say so. A single fixture is a handful of calls and mostly noise; the season-long, market-by-market record — including the markets that fail to beat a naive guess — is on the track record page.
