Where the model differs from the table

The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour Barnet (second, with Walsall sixth), while our numbers lean to Walsall. Walsall rate 0.53 in attack and 1.88 in defence, Barnet 0.67 and 2.07 (lower is better in defence), so Walsall have been the better side in defence on recent expected goals, which the 4-point gap in the table does not yet show. Playing at home adds the rest.

Across the rest of the season our simulation gives Walsall a 7.8% chance of the title and Barnet 36.8%, from 10,000 simulated seasons.
