~~Market~~62%

We make Huddersfield a 54% chance to win. The market has them at 62%. We are 8 points less confident than the market. The model expects 1.9–1.2.

What the number rests on

Our model

~~Expected goals · Huddersfield v Peterborough~~1.95 – 1.23

~~Table places · points 19 v 9~~3 v 19

~~The market · Huddersfield win~~62% · ours 54%

Built from every result and the chances each side creates and concedes, recent matches counting most, with home advantage in it. Line-ups, injuries and rest are not in the number.

Every figure here is read off one scoreline distribution, so no two can contradict each other. The market is the median of 10 bookmakers, each with its margin stripped — what we are measured against, never an input to the model.

How we got to this number6 steps · in order

Our model

Rates each side's attack and defence from the goals and expected goals of 2,899 League One matches up to 17 Oct 2026, weighting recent results more and allowing for home advantage.

Base rates

Context, not used by the model: League One matches have gone over 2.5 in 53.5% of games this season, across 114 played.

Head to head

Context, not used by the model: 6 previous meetings since 2021/22 in every competition we cover, 3.00 goals a meeting; 3 of 6 went over 2.5.

Home and away form

Huddersfield at home: 1.83 scored, 1.50 conceded a game (last 6). Peterborough away: 0.83 scored, 2.00 conceded (last 6).

What the model expects

1.95 goals for Huddersfield, 1.23 for Peterborough. Most likely score 1–1.

Not in these numbers yet

Line-ups, injuries and suspensions, and rest days are being measured in a test version of our model; they do not change these numbers. Weather and the referee are shown on the match page but not used.

Nothing here is written by hand. The model works from every result, as the first step says; the base rates, the head to head and the home and away form are context beside it, not inputs.
