Low confidence

Why the model favours this outcome

Derby County FC have scored at a below-average rate at home, which limits the model's home goal expectation. Birmingham City FC's travelling attack has outperformed the competition average. Sample size is still small this season, so the model leans more heavily on longer-term ratings and lowers its confidence accordingly.
