The cup tie brings together two clubs whose recent league form has been nothing but draws, and they have already split a 1‑1 stalemate in their latest encounter on 5 September.

Robbo's Verdict

Strong

Both teams to score - Yes Won Solid lean Strong · BTTS chance

The model rates a 54.9 % chance of both sides scoring, the highest single‑market probability available for this fixture.

Show the maths

Both clubs have an identical expected‑goals figure of 1.35, which the model translates into a BTTS likelihood of 54.9 %. The equal xG implies neither side has a clear defensive edge, and the BTTS probability exceeds the 50 % threshold, making it the clearest projection. The over/under 2.5 split (50.6 % over) is marginal, reinforcing that a single goal each is the most likely scoreline.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Boldmere St. Michaels averaging 1.35 expected goals and Bourne 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 (Boldmere St. Michaels 1.35, Bourne 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 (Boldmere St. Michaels 1.35 + Bourne 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 (Boldmere St. Michaels 1.35 + Bourne 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 Boldmere St. Michaels at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Bourne 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.
