BTTS — Yes Won

54.9% model probability

Over 2.5 Goals Won

The tie pits two non‑league clubs against each other, each having scored and conceded at the same rate this season. With no league form data available, the preview leans on head‑to‑head history and the model’s balanced probabilities.

Robbo's Verdict

Lean

No clear favorite Void Lean · No edge

The model assigns identical 37.1% win probabilities to both sides, so neither team holds a statistical advantage worth highlighting.

Show the maths

Both clubs have an expected‑goals value of 1.35, meaning the model expects each to create roughly one and a third scoring chances. That symmetry drives the win probability to 37.1% for Gosport and the same 37.1% for Plymouth, with the remaining 25.8% allocated to a draw. Because the probabilities are identical, there is no statistical basis to favor one side over the other.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Gosport Borough averaging 1.35 expected goals and Plymouth Parkway 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 (Gosport Borough 1.35, Plymouth Parkway 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 (Gosport Borough 1.35 + Plymouth Parkway 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 (Gosport Borough 1.35 + Plymouth Parkway 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 Gosport Borough at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Plymouth Parkway 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.
