How Bawler called the final

The final got the same treatment as every other match: the model, built on recent scoring and defending form, works out the chance of every scoreline and makes its calls from that. It forecasts the 90-minute result, so a final that goes to extra time or penalties is graded on the score after 90 minutes. Read the full method.

Like everything on Bawler, the final's prediction was logged before kickoff and settled publicly on the track record.
