Robbo's Verdict

Solid

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

The model assigns a 54.9 % chance to both sides scoring, driven by equal expected‑goals and recent goal‑heavy outings from Tadcaster.

Show the maths

Lancaster’s expected goals of 1.35 and Tadcaster’s identical 1.35 give each team a roughly 1‑goal baseline. Adding the recent goal volumes – Tadcaster’s three‑goal haul against Seaham and two‑goal effort at Thornaby – pushes the combined expected tally above 2.5, which the model translates into a 54.9 % BTTS probability. The equal match‑result odds (37.1 % each) further suggest a close contest where both teams are likely to find the net.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 54.9% model probability

With Lancaster City averaging 1.35 expected goals and Tadcaster Albion 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 (Lancaster City 1.35, Tadcaster Albion 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 Lost 50.6% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Lancaster City 1.35 + Tadcaster Albion 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 (Lancaster City 1.35 + Tadcaster Albion 1.35 = 2.7 combined): 50.6% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 49.4% finishing with 2 or fewer.
