Who had this guy down as the new manager of Stoke City? Good luck to him. And some respect to the Stoke board for promoting from below, rather than trying a manager who had repeatedly “failed” before at this level or above. Stoke’s first game under new management is away at Brentford. And the Model only gives them a 30% chance of a win, with the most likely outcome a 1-0 (15%) defeat.
Tonight it is Leeds vs Derby. Enough said. The Model says that Derby are favourites, and the most likely scoreline will be 0-1 (9%). That’s good enough for me…
