🧭 How the Model Sees It
Nothing here clears 38%. Wrexham edge it at 37% against 33% for the draw and 30% the other way — the inputs point in different directions and the engine is not claiming to know. That is published rather than dressed up.
Note that the projected scoreline of 1–1 points to a draw while the probabilities favour Wrexham. Those answer different questions. A home win is spread across 1–0, 2–0, 2–1 and more, so no single home scoreline need be the most likely result on the board even when home is the most likely outcome. The engine publishes the modal scoreline and the outcome probabilities side by side rather than forcing them to agree.
We have Wrexham at 37% where the consensus of 10 bookmakers has 41% — a gap against us of 4 points. Disagreements like this are where a model earns or loses its reputation, so it is stated plainly rather than sold as an edge.
The projection totals 2 goals. That sits under the 2.5 line, though only just: one more goal from either side and that call is wrong.
Confidence is filed as medium at 57/99. That tier is set from the shape of the probability distribution, not from how the fixture feels, and it is published before kick-off and graded against the result afterwards — right or wrong, it stays on the page.
📝 Match Recap
West Brom came from behind to edge Wrexham 2-1 in a match that didn't follow the expected script. Wrexham took the lead through Kieffer Moore in the 64th minute, assisted by Oliver Rathbone, but West Brom turned it around after the hour mark. Isaac Price levelled things up in the 79th minute, then added a second assist five minutes later for Aune Heggebo to seal a one-goal win.
Our model had called a 1-1 draw, giving West Brom just a 30% chance of winning outright. That's a miss — we didn't get the result direction right, and we certainly didn't land the exact scoreline. The pre-match thinking was built on both sides being mid-table and potentially coasting, which typically does point towards stalemate territory in the Championship. But Wrexham's inconsistent home form and West Brom's solidity away from home created enough tension in the probabilities that a Baggies win was always in play, even if it wasn't the favourite.
What actually happened was that Wrexham got their noses in front but couldn't hold on. West Brom's second-half push proved decisive, with Price doing the real damage in a seven-minute spell. The match ended up with goals at both ends rather than the cagey draw we'd leaned into, and that's on us. Sometimes the safer outcome doesn't materialise — this was one of those nights where the underdog prediction just came up short.

⚔️ Head to Head
Last two H2H meetings produced 4.5 goals per game with West Brom edging the series (1 win, 1 draw), but the current context of low motivation, Wrexham fatigue and injuries should suppress scoring compared to that historical average.
