🧮 Model Insight

How the Model Works This Match

The model rates Milton Keynes Dons's attack at 1.25x the league average against Gillingham's defence at 1.01x — combine the two and it projects 1.63 expected goals for the hosts. The same calculation in reverse, Gillingham's attack versus Milton Keynes Dons's defence, projects 0.80 expected goals for the visitors.

These ratings are built from 63/64 games of current-season data — a full enough sample to trust.

Scoreline Breakdown
