Chesham United vs Real Bedford: Chesham United to win
Chesham United’s 7.0 expected goals dwarf Real Bedford’s 2.0, and the model backs a 66.9% chance of a home win. The FA Cup tie is primed for a high‑scoring display.
Both clubs arrive from contrasting league runs – Chesham’s recent 7‑2 demolition of Ware shows they can explode, while Real Bedford have only two wins in their last five. In a knockout setting, the side with the bigger firepower usually dictates the tempo.

Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Chesham United at 66.9%, the draw at 3.3%, and Real Bedford at 2.7% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 6-1 at 4.0% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
The Numbers Behind the Headline
Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Chesham United
Chesham’s recent form includes a 7‑2 home thrashing of Ware, showing they can score in large numbers. Their last five league results contain a win, indicating they are still capable of delivering points, and that dominant performance underlines why a win is the most likely outcome.
Real Bedford
Real Bedford’s form features a 4‑1 home win over Royston Town and a 2‑1 away win at Harleston Town, both narrow victories that suggest limited scoring power. With only two wins in five matches, Bedford lack the firepower to match Chesham’s xG, supporting the expectation of a Chesham win.
