The tie pits a home side that has struggled to find the back of the net in league play against a visiting outfit that recently fell 2-3 at Woodford Town. With the cup providing a fresh canvas, each team’s scoring appetite will be the decisive factor.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid

Both teams to score - Yes Won Solid lean Solid · Clear BTTS edge

Both clubs have an identical expected‑goals rating of 1.35, and the model assigns a 54.9% chance that each will score, making the BTTS Yes the most compelling selection.

Show the maths

The model calculates expected goals of 1.35 for each team, translating to a combined scoring expectation of 2.70. From that baseline, the probability that both sides will score is 54.9%, higher than the 45.1% chance of a clean sheet for either side. This BTTS likelihood exceeds the draw probability (25.8%) and aligns with the slight over‑2.5 goal edge, confirming that both teams finding the net is the most probable scenario.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Canvey Island averaging 1.35 expected goals and Newmarket 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 (Canvey Island 1.35, Newmarket 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 (Canvey Island 1.35 + Newmarket 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 (Canvey Island 1.35 + Newmarket 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 Canvey Island at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Newmarket 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.
