Analysis
Our model puts a Birmingham City win at 37.2% in this Championship fixture — close to a three-way split. Expected goals run 1.23 to 1.18.
Evenly rated
There is almost nothing between these two on rating — 1548 against 1574, a gap of 25 points. Fixtures this evenly matched are where a model has least to say: the probabilities below are honest, but they are close to a coin weighted only slightly.
Margin risk
Our blowout flag reads 26.6%: roughly one simulation in 4 ends with a three-goal margin or more. Finishing gaps that wide make the scoreline far less predictable than the winner.
