Both Teams to Score

BTTS — Yes Lost

53.9% model probability

Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Won

50.6% model probability

Thun have been fragile at home, averaging zero goals while conceding three per game, whereas Grasshoppers have been porous on the road, scoring 1.3 but letting in 2.7. Both teams' recent runs show they can score but also leak, setting the stage for a dual‑scoring encounter.

Lars's Verdict

Solid

Both teams to score - Yes Lost Solid lean Solid · BTTS edge

Back both teams to score, as the model assigns a 53.9% probability based on their similar expected goals and recent leaky performances.

Show the maths

The model assigns Thun an expected 1.35 goals and Grasshoppers 1.30, yielding a combined goal expectation of 2.65. Historically, when combined xG exceeds 2.5, the BTTS probability typically rises above 50%. Here the model calculates a 53.9% chance both sides will score, marginally higher than the 46.1% chance of a clean‑sheet outcome, supporting the BTTS pick.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 53.9% model probability

With FC Thun averaging 1.35 expected goals and Grasshoppers averaging 1.3, the model gives a 53.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 46.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (FC Thun 1.35, Grasshoppers 1.3) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 53.9% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 46.1% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Won 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (FC Thun 1.35 + Grasshoppers 1.3) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Over.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (FC Thun 1.35 + Grasshoppers 1.3 = 2.7 combined): 49.4% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 50.6% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has FC Thun at 38.1%, the draw at 26.1%, and Grasshoppers at 35.8% to win.

Most Likely Scoreline

The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.4% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
