Both clubs enter the FA Cup tie with contrasting recent form – Farnham have only managed a 2‑2 draw in their last five league outings, while Cirencester have mixed results but a recent 3‑0 away win.

Robbo's Verdict

Strong
Both teams to score - Yes Won Strong lean Strong · High BTTS probability

The 70.1% BTTS probability, driven by Cirencester’s 3.0 xG and Farnham’s recent 2‑2 draw, makes scoring from both sides the most likely outcome.

Show the maths
Cirencester’s expected goals of 3.0 versus Farnham’s 1.35 give a 1.65‑goal advantage, which the model converts into a 70.4% win probability for the visitors. The same scoring gap feeds the BTTS model, resulting in a 70.1% chance that both teams will score. The recent 2‑2 head‑to‑head also demonstrates that both sides can breach each other's defence, reinforcing the BTTS outlook.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 70.1% model probability

With Farnham Town averaging 1.35 expected goals and Cirencester Town averaging 3.0, the model gives a 70.1% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 29.9% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths
BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Farnham Town 1.35, Cirencester Town 3.0) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 70.1% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 29.9% where at least one side is shut out.
Pick 3 · Total Goals
Over 2.5 Goals Won 80.5% model probability

Combined expected goals of 4.3 (Farnham Town 1.35 + Cirencester Town 3.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 80.5% chance against 19.5% for Under.

Show the maths
Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Farnham Town 1.35 + Cirencester Town 3.0 = 4.3 combined): 80.5% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 19.5% finishing with 2 or fewer.
Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Farnham Town at 14.3%, the draw at 14.9%, and Cirencester Town at 70.4% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-2 at 7.8% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.

Form Guide — Last 5

Farnham Town

D

Farnham’s last five league games have produced only a single draw – a 2‑2 stalemate away at Cirencester Town – and that same scoreline was mirrored in their recent head‑to‑head on 19 Sep 2026. The inability to secure a win in these outings suggests limited offensive threat, which supports the view that Farnham are unlikely to keep the match clean.

Cirencester Town

LDLWD

Cirencester’s recent run includes a 3‑0 away victory over Fleetlands and a 2‑2 home draw with Farnham Town, flanked by heavy defeats (0‑7 at Fairford Town, 0‑2 at Reading City). The big win and the ability to score in the draw highlight a potent attack that can breach Farnham’s defence, underpinning the BTTS pick.

Head-to-Head

The most recent head‑to‑head on 19 Sep 2026 ended 2‑2, showing that both sides have already scored, which aligns with the model’s high BTTS probability.
