Robbo's Verdict

Lean

Alfreton Town to win Lost Slight lean Lean · Home edge

The model assigns Alfreton a 37.1% chance to win versus the same figure for Stratford, and the home factor is the only differentiator, making Alfreton the slight favorite.

Show the maths

Both teams have an expected‑goals value of 1.35, so the model starts from a level playing field. It then applies venue weighting, which adds a small boost to the home side’s win probability, raising Alfreton’s chance to 37.1% while keeping Stratford at the same level. The draw sits at 25.8%, leaving the win odds as the clearest split. This modest uplift is why the model favours Alfreton to win.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Alfreton Town averaging 1.35 expected goals and Stratford 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 (Alfreton Town 1.35, Stratford 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.
