Farnborough vs Uxbridge: Under 2.5 goals
Farnborough host Uxbridge in the FA Cup with both sides averaging 1.35 expected goals, but the model tilts slightly toward a low‑scoring affair.
The tie pits two clubs that have already drawn 2‑2 in their most recent league encounter, meaning both know each other's defensive frailties and will likely approach the cup game cautiously.
Robbo's Verdict
The model gives a 49.4% probability for under 2.5 goals, slightly below the 50.6% over, indicating a marginal advantage for a low‑scoring outcome.
Show the maths
With Farnborough averaging 1.35 expected goals and Uxbridge 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.

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Farnborough 1.35 + Uxbridge 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
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Farnborough at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Uxbridge at 37.1% to win.
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
Farnborough
Farnborough's recent league form is a single draw (2‑2 vs Uxbridge away). That result shows they can hold a clean sheet while still conceding twice, indicating a tendency toward tight, low‑scoring games—exactly the environment that favours an under‑2.5 goal outcome.
Uxbridge
Uxbridge have a win (3‑0 vs Haywards Heath Town at home) and a draw (2‑2 vs Farnborough at home) in their last two league outings. The heavy win shows they can score, but the 2‑2 draw against Farnborough demonstrates that even when they find the net, the total often stays modest, reinforcing the under‑2.5 case.
