Both clubs enter the cup with a recent league record that shows only a single documented draw – Carshalton Athletic's 1‑1 away at Chertsey Town and Chertsey Town's 1‑1 home draw against Carshalton Athletic – highlighting defensive solidity and limited goal output ahead of the fixture.

Robbo's Verdict

Lean

No clear standout pick Void Lean · No clear edge

The model’s probabilities are evenly split between the two teams and a draw, providing no decisive advantage for any single result.

Show the maths

Both clubs have an expected goal value of 1.35, meaning the model predicts roughly one and a half chances each to score. The match‑result odds of 37.1% for Carshalton and Chertsey Town versus 25.8% for a draw show the model cannot isolate a favorite, as the xG gap is zero. The over/under 2.5 odds sit at 50.6% for over, reflecting the balanced scoring outlook. Consequently, the model does not generate a statistically superior probability for any single market.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Carshalton Athletic averaging 1.35 expected goals and Chertsey 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 (Carshalton Athletic 1.35, Chertsey 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 (Carshalton Athletic 1.35 + Chertsey 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 (Carshalton Athletic 1.35 + Chertsey 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 Carshalton Athletic at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Chertsey 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.
