Both Teams to Score

BTTS — Yes Won

Both clubs arrive with identical expected‑goals figures, meaning neither side possesses a clear attacking edge. In a knockout format, efficiency will be decisive.

Robbo's Verdict

Lean

Under 2.5 goals Lost Solid lean Lean · Low‑scoring trend

The model assigns a 49.4% chance to under 2.5 goals, reflecting the combined zero‑goal averages and recent defensive frailties.

Show the maths

Both teams have an expected‑goals value of 1.35, translating to a combined xG of 2.70. The model’s under‑2.5 probability of 49.4% is just below the 50% mark, indicating that the actual goal output is likely to fall short of the combined xG. The identical xG and the recent zero‑goal away average for Chichester reinforce the slight under‑2.5 tilt, despite the marginal over‑2.5 edge.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Broadfields United averaging 1.35 expected goals and Chichester City 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 (Broadfields United 1.35, Chichester City 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 (Broadfields United 1.35 + Chichester City 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 (Broadfields United 1.35 + Chichester City 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 Broadfields United at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Chichester City 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.

Form Guide — Last 5

Broadfields United

LLLLL

Broadfields United have lost their last five league games, including a 2‑3 home loss to Hastings United and a 0‑4 away defeat at Snodland Town. The string of defeats, especially the heavy conceding margins, suggests they will struggle to create and finish chances, supporting a low‑scoring outcome.

Chichester City

Chichester City's recent league form is not supplied, so specific recent results cannot be cited. However, their away goals‑for average of 0.0 indicates they have not scored in recent away fixtures, underscoring the likelihood of a goal‑scarce match.
