BTTS — Yes Lost

54.9% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won

50.6% model probability

Robbo's Verdict

Solid

Draw Lost Slight lean Solid · Balanced odds

The model assigns a 25.8% chance to a draw, the only distinct probability gap among the three outcomes, indicating a realistic expectation of a level result.

Show the maths

Both clubs have an expected‑goals value of 1.35, which the model translates into equal win probabilities of 37.1% each. Subtracting the combined win chances from 100% leaves a 25.8% chance for a draw. That draw probability is the most pronounced deviation from the evenly matched win odds, signalling the model’s strongest conviction for a stalemate.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Brantham Athletic averaging 1.35 expected goals and Waltham Abbey 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 (Brantham Athletic 1.35, Waltham Abbey 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 (Brantham Athletic 1.35 + Waltham Abbey 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 (Brantham Athletic 1.35 + Waltham Abbey 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 Brantham Athletic at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Waltham Abbey 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.
