Win Probability: Grays Athletic or Walthamstow?

Based on the available data, we calculate the win probabilities as follows: Grays Athletic 25%, draw 30%, Walthamstow 45%. The odds from bookmakers imply a close contest, but after adjusting for Grays Athletic’s five-match losing streak and Walthamstow’s superior head-to-head record (unbeaten in three meetings), the away side emerges as the clear favorite.

Walthamstow’s ability to score heavily (9-0 vs Lowestoft) and keep clean sheets gives them the edge.
