Lower Breck to win Lost Strong lean Strong · High win probability

The model rates Lower Breck's chance of victory at 83.5%, reflecting their superior expected goals and home scoring record.

Show the maths

Lower Breck's expected goals of 5.0 compare to Chester's 1.35, creating a 3.65‑goal xG gap. The model translates that gap into an 83.5% win probability for Lower Breck, with only a 5.7% chance of a draw and 4.1% for Chester. The over‑2.5 goals probability of 88.4% further confirms the likelihood of a high‑scoring win for the home side.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Won 68.5% model probability

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Lower Breck 5.0, Chester 1.35) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 68.5% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 31.5% where at least one side is shut out.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Lower Breck 5.0 + Chester 1.35 = 6.3 combined): 88.4% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 11.6% finishing with 2 or fewer.
