Headline Pick

Both teams to score - No Won

Both Teams to Score

BTTS — Yes Lost

54.9% model probability

Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won

50.6% model probability

Both clubs enter this first‑round tie with no recent league form data for Fleetlands and a three‑match run for Cirencester Town that includes a heavy 0‑7 loss. The lack of defensive solidity on paper suggests the match will open up rather than settle into a stalemate.

Robbo's Verdict

Lean

Both teams to score - No Won Solid lean Lean · Moderate uncertainty

The model’s BTTS probability sits at 54.9% for yes and 45.1% for no, making the no‑goal‑both‑sides outcome the less likely but still viable option when a defensive line‑up is improbable.

Show the maths

The model calculates BTTS probabilities from each team’s expected goals of 1.35. Adding the two expected goals gives a combined 2.70, which translates into a roughly 55% chance that both will score. Subtracting that from 100% yields a 45% probability for the ‘no’ outcome, which the pick follows despite being the lower‑probability side.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 54.9% model probability

With Fleetlands averaging 1.35 expected goals and Cirencester Town 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 (Fleetlands 1.35, Cirencester Town 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 Won 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Fleetlands 1.35 + Cirencester Town 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 (Fleetlands 1.35 + Cirencester Town 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 Fleetlands at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Cirencester Town 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.
