Why the model favours this side

The model gives Gillingham the highest probability at 38%, based on each side's rolling attack and defence ratings estimated from recent match data. The model projects 1.45 expected goals for Gillingham against 1.35 for Crewe. Gillingham's attack/defence rating is 0.48/2.36 versus the league average (1.00 = average), compared with 0.47/2.05 for Crewe.

Gillingham carry a model rating of 6.06 against 6.11 for Crewe. A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.

How the model reaches 38% for Gillingham to win

Start from two average sides on neutral ground: 36% for Gillingham to win. Then home advantage adds 5 points, Gillingham's ratings take away 1 point and Crewe's ratings take away 2 points, which lands on the published 38%.
