Win Probability: Hume City or Melbourne City 2?

We calculate the win probabilities as follows: Hume City win – 45%, Draw – 30%, Melbourne City 2 win – 25%. These percentages are derived from the bookmaker odds (home win around 1.60, draw 2.45, away 4.25), adjusted for recent form and head-to-head. Hume City's poor recent form (1 win in 5) reduces their chances, while Melbourne City 2's two consecutive away wins boost theirs.
