📝 Match Report

How It Unfolded

The points were shared at Priestfield Stadium, Regular Season - 36, as Gillingham and Fleetwood Town drew 1-1 in the League Two. With the result on the board, the sections below measure it against everything the model and the numbers projected in advance.

The Model vs The Result

The Poisson model went into this projecting Gillingham 1.01 xG and Fleetwood Town 1.40 xG, a combined 2.41. The scoreboard read 1-1 for 2 actual goals. Both sides finished within a goal of their individual projections, so the scoreline sat close to the model's expected shape. Those figures were built on strength ratings of Gillingham attack 0.98 / defence 1.35 against Fleetwood Town attack 0.90 / defence 0.83, drawn from 79/80 games (CurrentSeason).

On the result, the model split it Gillingham 27% | Draw 27% | Fleetwood Town 46%, with Fleetwood Town to win its most likely call at 46%. The actual draw had been the model's second-ranked read at 27%, so the result diverged from the top call without being a shock.

Goals & Markets

Historically the two sides average 42% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (Gillingham 34%, Fleetwood Town 49%), a base rate that agreed with today's under. Their combined BTTS history runs at 53%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
