Has the model earned this number?
It puts Viking at 51% here. Across 2437 settled matches, 630 forecasts have landed in the 50–65% band; those outcomes actually happened 52.2% of the time, against an average forecast of 55.6%. In this range the two line up, so the figure above can be read literally.
Every settled prediction on this site is scored against an uninformed baseline, band by band, and published whether or not it flatters the model — see the full record.
How the model saw it, minute by minute
Rebuilt after the match from the model's pre-match expected goals, frozen in the log before kick-off, plus the score and cards as they stood at each minute — never anything later. A ball marks each of the 9 goals. The same replay scores the in-play model on the track record.

Top 3 by league goals this season. Player availability is not part of the model — injuries and suspensions are a planned improvement.
Expected against actual
Pre-match the model expected 2.09 goals for Viking and 1.05 for Kristiansund BK; the game produced 8 and 1.
A gap that size between expected and actual goals is normal in a single match — it is the reason we publish probabilities rather than predictions, and why the record below is measured over hundreds of games rather than one.
Goals
Scorers, in order: Peter Christiansen 4' (Viking), Henrik Heggheim 6' (Viking), Kristoffer Haugen 20' (Viking), Erik Botheim 29' (Viking), Erik Botheim 45' (Viking), Leander Alvheim 45' (Kristiansund BK), Henrik Bjørdal 58' (Viking), Niklas Fuglestad 82' (Viking), Simen Kvia Egeskog 90' (Viking).
How this was produced
Publicly tracked record so far: 1151 correct results out of 2437 settled predictions (47%), with 230 exact scorelines (9%). That log is updated automatically after every match and is never edited.
