Over 532 matches (Aug 2003 – May 2022), Kevin Friend drew 140 where the draw model expected 137.4 from those particular fixtures — about 3 more, or 0.3 standard errors, which is what the model expected, near enough.

A flat league average would have expected 140.5 instead — "more draws than the league" and "more draws than these fixtures deserved" are different claims. These matches were part of the model's own training set, so its chances were fitted already knowing the results.
