Analysis
Our model puts an Eastleigh win at 43.8% in this FA Cup fixture — close to a three-way split. Expected goals run 1.59 to 1.31.
What this probability has been worth
A number is worth what it has been worth. Across 2,454 predictions published before kick-off and scored against the result afterwards, the calls we priced between 35% and 45% came in 38.5% of the time — 885 fixtures in that band. The model claimed 40.6%, so the two are within 2.1 points of each other. In this range the stated probability has meant roughly what it says.
Shrewsbury Town are off their season peak
Shrewsbury Town peaked at 1500 this season and sit at 1447 today, 53 points below their own best. Measuring a side against itself rather than against the table is often the earlier signal, and it is not visible in a league position.
