Crewe arrive with 1 win, 4 draws and 0 defeats from their last 5 league games (DDDDW from most recent), scoring 5 and conceding 4 with 2 clean sheets. Shrewsbury arrive with 2 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats from their last 5 league games (WLLWL from most recent), scoring 4 and conceding 8 with 2 clean sheets. In the table Crewe sit 8th with 10 points from 6 games and a goal difference of +2, while Shrewsbury are 18th with 6 points and a goal difference of -6.

Crewe average 1.3 goals scored and 1.0 conceded over their last five home games, while Shrewsbury average 0.0 scored and 2.3 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 Crewe), team strength (Elo & Glicko) (8.8 points toward Crewe), defense (5.8 points toward Shrewsbury). These factors are measured in win-probability points and add up to the gap between the two sides if there is a winner.
