Both Teams to Score

BTTS — Yes Lost

54.9% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Lost

Both clubs arrive with identical expected‑goal figures of 1.35, indicating a balanced attacking threat despite the cup setting. Their recent league data, though limited, shows a 1‑1 draw for each side in the most recent fixture.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid

Both teams to score – Yes Lost Solid lean Solid · Slight BTTS edge

The model assigns a 54.9% chance that both sides will score, supported by identical expected‑goal values and a recent 1‑1 draw between the clubs.

Show the maths

Both clubs have an expected‑goal rating of 1.35, meaning the model expects each to create roughly one and a third chances. When you combine those rates, the probability of at least one goal per side rises above the 50 % threshold, giving a 54.9% BTTS chance. The close split on the over/under line (50.6% over) further suggests a low‑scoring game where each side still finds the net, reinforcing the BTTS pick.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Bishop Auckland averaging 1.35 expected goals and AFC Emley 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 (Bishop Auckland 1.35, AFC Emley 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 Lost 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Bishop Auckland 1.35 + AFC Emley 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 (Bishop Auckland 1.35 + AFC Emley 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 Bishop Auckland at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and AFC Emley 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.
