Havant & Wville vs Chippenham Town: No clear standout pick

Havant & Wville host Chippenham Town in a FA Cup tie where both sides sit on identical expected‑goals of 1.35, and the model sees virtually no edge for either side.

Both clubs come into this clash with a single recent league draw on their records, meaning recent form offers little clue about who will prevail in the cup showdown.

Robbo's Verdict

Lean
No clear standout pick Void Lean · No edge

The model’s probabilities are evenly split between the two sides and the draw, offering no decisive advantage for any single market.

Show the maths
The model assigns 37.1% win probability to each team and 25.8% to a draw, reflecting the identical expected‑goals of 1.35. The xG gap is zero, so the likelihood of either side scoring is balanced, and the modest 12.2% chance of a 1‑1 result underscores the lack of a dominant outcome. Because the probabilities cluster tightly, the model does not highlight any market as a clear favorite.
Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score
Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Havant & Wville averaging 1.35 expected goals and Chippenham 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 (Havant & Wville 1.35, Chippenham 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 (Havant & Wville 1.35 + Chippenham 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 (Havant & Wville 1.35 + Chippenham 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 Havant & Wville at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Chippenham 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.

Form Guide — Last 5

Havant & Wville

D

Havant & Wville’s last five league games have produced only a single draw (1‑1 at Chippenham Town, away). That stagnant form suggests they have struggled to generate a decisive result, reinforcing the model’s view that they lack an advantage in this cup tie.

Chippenham Town

D

Chippenham Town’s recent five‑game stretch also ends with a lone draw (1‑1 at home against Havant & Wville). Their inability to turn draws into wins mirrors the home side’s form, leaving no clear momentum for either team.
