Football results Monday 26 October 2026: AI predictions review
AI models hit 10 of 16 football results on Monday 26 October 2026. Review the biggest surprises and the models that led the way.
The 10-model consensus called 10 of 16 football results correctly on Monday 26 October 2026, with the AI forecasts mostly delivering in the major European and South American leagues. However, the day featured several upsets that caught the models off guard, including a 100% consensus pick that ended in defeat and a surprise 4-1 home win.
The biggest surprise came in Liga MX, where Club Tijuana thrashed Santos Laguna 4-1 despite 80% of models backing an away win. Another notable miss was in Serie A, where Coritiba lost 0-1 to Gremio after 90% of models favoured a home victory. These results show that while AI predictions are strong, football remains unpredictable.
