Win Probability: Fortis or FC Goa?

Fortis has a 35% chance of winning, the draw is at 25%, and FC Goa has a 40% chance. These probabilities are derived from the average bookmaker odds (after removing the margin), adjusted for team form. FC Goa's marginal favoritism is supported by odds as low as 2.05 for an away win, despite their poor recent results. Fortis's home advantage and two big wins in their last five keep them close, but the high draw probability reflects both teams' inconsistent performances.
