Crowborough’s expected goals of 3.0 are more than double Hampton’s 1.35, creating a substantial xG gap. The model converts this gap into a 70.4% win probability for Crowborough and only 14.3% for the hosts, with the draw at 14.9%. This distribution shows that the most likely outcome is a Crowborough win, matching the top scorelines of 1‑2 and 1‑3.
