Match Analysis

Oxford arrive with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat from their last 5 league games (WWLWD from most recent), scoring 12 and conceding 6 with 2 clean sheets. Cambridge arrive with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat from their last 5 league games (WDWLD from most recent), scoring 8 and conceding 7 with 0 clean sheets. In the table Oxford sit 6th with 10 points from 5 games and a goal difference of +6, while Cambridge are 4th with 11 points and a goal difference of +2. That puts Cambridge 1 point clear of their opponent. Oxford average 2.5 goals scored and 1.0 conceded over their last five home games, while Cambridge average 1.7 scored and 1.3 conceded over their last five away games. Looking at what drives the winner call, the model's own attribution points to home advantage (11.1 points toward Oxford), defense (3.5 points toward Cambridge), team strength (Elo & Glicko) (2.0 points toward Oxford). These factors are measured in win-probability points and add up to the gap between the two sides if there is a winner.

Under/Over 2.5 Goals Prediction

The model puts Under 2.5 at 54% and Over 2.5 at 46%, so its call is Under 2.5. Recent games are less clear-cut: Oxford matches produced 3.6 goals on average over their last 5, Cambridge matches 3.0. Both teams to score comes in at 54%, no goal for at least one side at 46%. In the model's own attribution, Oxford attack & chance creation pulls toward Under by 3.0 points and league scoring environment pulls toward Under by 2.6 points.
