Robbo's Verdict

Lean

Both teams to score - No Lost Solid lean Lean · Clean‑sheet edge

The model assigns a 45.1 % probability to a no‑goal‑share result, making the clean‑sheet option the more probable outcome.

Show the maths

Both teams have an expected goal value of 1.35, which the model translates into a 54.9 % BTTS‑Yes probability and a 45.1 % BTTS‑No probability. Because the BTTS‑No figure is still close to even, the model favours the side with the slightly higher chance – the clean‑sheet scenario – as the headline pick. The top three predicted scorelines (1‑1, 0‑1, 1‑0) show that a single goal is the most common outcome, reinforcing the likelihood of one side keeping a shut‑out.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

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