In 67% of their last 3 head-to-head meetings, the two sides have walked away with a point each, as if by mutual agreement. Both squads know each other well, which tends to neutralise individual threats and produce a cagey, watchful encounter. Our model leans heavily on that history, assigning a 35% probability to the draw outcome.
