Why the model favours this side

The model gives Wrexham the highest probability at 36%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.27 expected goals for Lincoln against 1.31 for Wrexham. Lincoln's attack/defence rating is 0.64/1.54 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.71/1.3 for Wrexham.

How the model reaches 36% for Wrexham to win
