Your scoreline
Edinburgh

Gloucester Rugby

The steppers skip 1, 2 and 4. Points come in fives, threes and twos with a conversion needing a try in front of it, so no match has ever finished on any of them.

Where that lands
Gloucester Rugby by 75+levelEdinburgh by 75+

19.3% of runs finished in this bin — within 2 points either way.

52 points is around the 54th percentile of the total — the middle run scored 50.

Those two figures are separate readings and are not multiplied together. The simulation draws the gap and the amount of scoring independently, so one bar of the histogram covers many scorelines and the payload holds nothing about which of them came up with which gap.

What the model says
Edinburgh 48.2%Gloucester Rugby 49.3%average 26–26

That is the model’s own average scoreline. The model’s two answers point different ways here: it makes Gloucester Rugby the more likely winner while its average scoreline has the two level. That is not a contradiction — the average gap is taken over both winners, so a side that wins narrowly more often can still be behind on it. Nothing here scores any of it. The model’s gap is an average over both winners and yours is one afternoon, so the two are different kinds of number rather than one being right. How the model works.

Why Edinburgh are not favoured

How the model arrives at the chance of Edinburgh winning. It starts at an even 50%, and each line below adds to that or takes from it, in percentage points (pp): a bar to the right helps Edinburgh, a bar to the left helps Gloucester Rugby.

Gloucester Rugby are under 50% and still the likelier winner: Edinburgh are on 48.2%, and a draw takes the other 2.5%.

The fixture

Edinburgh and Gloucester Rugby have no fixture on the published schedule, so there is no ground, no kick-off forecast and no team sheet to put beside this. The prediction itself does not need any of them.

4 meetings — Edinburgh 1, Gloucester Rugby 3. Last 2026: Edinburgh 26–24 Gloucester Rugby.

None of this reaches the model. Weather is not a feature, team selection is not a feature and the record is already inside both ratings, so the probability above does not move because any of it changed.
