Analysis

Our model puts a Colchester United win at 43.3% in this League Two fixture — close to a three-way split. Expected goals run 1.45 to 1.18.

Evenly rated

There is almost nothing between these two on rating — 1470 against 1456, a gap of 14 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 44.9%: roughly one simulation in 2 ends with a three-goal margin or more. Finishing gaps that wide make the scoreline far less predictable than the winner.
