In the FA Cup first round, AFC Dunstable host Woodford Town at home. With no recent league form data for the hosts, the preview leans on the statistical balance of the fixture and Woodford’s own recent results.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid

AFC Dunstable to win Lost Slight lean Solid · Home edge

The model’s 37.1% win probability for the home side exceeds the draw odds and reflects the marginal home‑field boost despite equal expected goals.

Show the maths

Both teams register 1.35 expected goals, meaning the model expects a balanced attack. Converting those xG figures into win probabilities yields 37.1% for AFC Dunstable, 37.1% for Woodford Town and 25.8% for a draw. The home side’s win probability is therefore the highest single outcome, which is why the model recommends backing AFC Dunstable to win.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With AFC Dunstable averaging 1.35 expected goals and Woodford Town averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (AFC Dunstable 1.35, Woodford Town 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 54.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 45.1% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (AFC Dunstable 1.35 + Woodford Town 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (AFC Dunstable 1.35 + Woodford Town 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has AFC Dunstable at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Woodford Town at 37.1% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
